Prince George’s Community College — Commencement & Academic Regalia

Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) holds formal commencement ceremonies when eligible students complete degree or certificate requirements and submit the required graduation application. Graduates must order their academic regalia (cap, gown, tassel) in advance. The cap and gown can be shipped to the student’s home or picked up at the campus bookstore during the designated pickup period.

For graduates earning honors, PGCC awards a special recognitional detail: students graduating “With Honor,” “High Honor,” or “Highest Honor” — based on overall GPA — receive a yellow (gold‑colored) tassel to denote their academic achievement.

Regarding attire under the gown, PGCC suggests a formal base: for men, dark trousers with dress shirt and tie; for women, a dress or blouse with skirt — ensuring nothing shows below the robe hem. There is no formal dress‑code color requirement, but the emphasis is on modest, unobtrusive clothing under the gown.

Cap decoration is permitted — graduates may personalize their mortarboard for the ceremony. There is, however, no publicly available official policy on stoles, hoods, or honor cords beyond the honor‑tassel designation. PGCC’s published commencement and graduation materials mention only cap, gown and tassel — not hoods or discipline‑based regalia colors.

Graduation gown and mortarboard cap are required for all graduates attending Commencement.
Graduates who qualify for honors (Honor / High Honor / Highest Honor) receive a yellow‑tassel to indicate academic distinction.
Standard tassel for non‑honors graduates (color not specifically defined in public documents).
No public mention of stoles, hoods, or color‑coded regalia by discipline.
Cap decoration allowed at graduate’s discretion.
Formal but not strictly color‑coded attire recommended under the gown.
