Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez

The Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico (PUCPR) — including the Mayagüez campus — conducts formal commencement ceremonies (“colaciones de grado”) where graduates wear official academic regalia: a cap (birrete), gown (toga), and tassel (“borla”).

For associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, the cap is a traditional four‑sided mortarboard, typically black. The tassel may be either black or the color representing the graduate’s school/faculty.

Doctoral candidates wear a velvet tam (multi‑sided cap) with a gold tassel.

Gowns (robes) follow standard academic-dress tradition. Hoods/stoles (esclavinas) for bachelor’s and master’s degrees are lined in the university official colors (blue and white), and for doctoral robes the hood lining includes blue, gold, and white.

Each faculty or school at PUCPR has an assigned color for academic regalia — for example:

• Business: Drab
• Education: Light-blue
• Nursing: Orange
• Communications: Carmesí (Crimson)
• Psychology: White

These colors guide the tassel (and possibly hood trim) to reflect the field of study.

At commencement, graduates wear their cap and gown with the tassel initially on the right side; after degrees are conferred the tassel is moved to the left, symbolizing the transition from candidate to graduate.

Honor cords or additional stoles for special distinctions or heritage are not explicitly detailed in the publicly available PUCPR graduate catalog — PUCPR seems to emphasize standard regalia colors per faculty and does not publish a public list of colors for honor cords or stoles for Mayagüez.

Bachelor / Undergraduate & Master Degrees

• Graduation cap: Traditional four‑sided mortarboard (usually black).
• Graduation gown color: Classic black gown is standard; hood / stole (esclavina) interior is lined with PUCPR’s official institutional colors: blue & white.
• Tassel / Hood trim color: The tassel may be black or may reflect the graduate’s faculty/field color, based on PUCPR’s “velvet color” scheme per field.

Doctoral Degrees (PhD / Highest Degree)

General / All‑Purpose Cap and Gown & Regalia Notes
