Principia College Commencement & Academic Regalia

Principia College holds annual commencement ceremonies to celebrate students who have completed all degree requirements. The ceremonies include faculty, staff, family, and friends, honoring graduates across bachelor, master, and doctoral programs.

Academic regalia at Principia College follows traditional conventions. Bachelor candidates typically wear a black gown with a black mortarboard and tassel. Master and doctoral candidates may wear gowns with additional features, such as hoods, velvet facings, and tams, in accordance with general academic-dress traditions. However, there is no publicly published color scheme for tassels, hoods, stoles, or honor cords by degree or discipline.

Scholastic honors are recognized based on GPA: a 3.650 cumulative GPA earns "with scholastic honors," while 3.850 or higher earns "highest scholastic honors." Despite this, there is no official guidance on tassel or stole colors to represent these honors.

Faculty participation in Commencement may include academic-style gowns and hoods, but there is no official public policy on faculty regalia colors or styles.

  • Bachelor’s regalia: black gown, black mortarboard, black tassel
  • Master’s and doctoral regalia: black gown, hood, optional tam; tassel and hood colors not officially published
  • Honor cords and stoles: optional, no formal color chart provided
  • Faculty regalia: optional, custom order; no formal color or style requirements
