Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico – Graduation & Academic Regalia Overview

Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico (PUCPR) publishes a formal “Programa de Graduación” that outlines the regalia tradition for its commencement ceremonies. For bachelor’s and master’s degrees, graduates wear a standard mortarboard (four‑corner cap) and a gown, with a tassel. The gown hood (or “esclavina/hood”) is lined internally with the university colors — for undergrad and master’s degrees the lining is blue and white.

The hood trim (velvet edging) is used to denote the field of study: different faculties/schools at PUCPR are assigned unique velvet colors depending on the discipline — for example, “Arquitectura” uses violet, “Ciencias” uses yellow, “Enfermería” uses orange, and so forth.

For doctoral graduates, the cap is typically a velvet tam (rather than a mortarboard), and the tassel is gold — a common academic‑regalia convention at PUCPR.

PUCPR allows the wearing of honor cords and stoles (or “esclavinas”) for recognized honors, special programs, or student groups, provided they comply with the regulations.

Thus, PUCPR follows a traditional academic‑regalia system: gown + cap + tassel + hood (for degrees that require one), with hood‑lining in university colors and velvet trim signifying discipline. The publicly available graduation program gives a discipline‑based color chart for hood trim, which helps graduates order correct regalia sets matching their degree program.
