Queensborough Community College Commencement & Academic Regalia

Queensborough Community College (QCC) hosts its annual Commencement ceremony in late May for graduates who have met all degree requirements. Participation is optional, but all students attending must wear official academic regalia including a black graduation gown and a mortarboard graduation cap with tassel. Regalia is typically provided via the campus bookstore or designated provider before the ceremony.

Graduates who qualify for academic honors receive honor cords to signify their achievement. QCC awards honors based on cumulative GPA ranges for Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude. While students may wear additional stoles or cords, the college does not publicly provide a color-coded guide for tassels, hoods, or stoles by discipline or degree.

Faculty and staff attending the ceremony are encouraged to wear traditional faculty regalia, which may include gowns, hoods, and appropriate caps or tams. Tassels and other regalia elements reflect standard academic tradition but are not regulated by QCC for color or design beyond the basic black gown and mortarboard cap.

In summary, QCC maintains a consistent academic regalia policy: all graduates wear a standard black graduation gown and graduation cap with tassel; academic honors are denoted with cords; and faculty wear customary faculty regalia. There is no official public guidance for discipline-specific tassel, hood, or stole colors. Vendors offering colored tassels or specialty stoles should indicate that these items are custom and not officially sanctioned by QCC.
