Reedley College Commencement & Academic Regalia Overview

Reedley College holds its annual commencement — for example, the 2025 Commencement is scheduled for May 22 on the South Lawn of the Cafeteria. Graduates must RSVP by the published deadline to walk in the ceremony.

Academic regalia (cap, gown, and tassel) for Reedley College graduates is available through the campus Bookstore. According to the 2025 Commencement information, the “Grad Bundle” — including cap, gown & tassel — is sold for a fixed price, with components also available for separate purchase (gown, cap, tassel). ]

Reedley College allows graduates to purchase additional optional items: a standard stole or a “First‑Gen” stole, available at the bookstore for a separate fee. ] The school’s policy indicates that only “college‑approved” stoles — meaning those purchased at the Bookstore or handed out by formal college groups — are permitted to be worn with the gown at Commencement. ]

Regarding tassels, stoles, or honor cords related to academic discipline or honors — there is **no publicly available color‑chart** or formal policy listing discipline‑based tassel or hood colors on the Reedley College Commencement page or catalog. ] However, the college recognizes external honor‑societies such as Alpha Gamma Sigma (AGS), whose eligible members may wear special honor cords at graduation. ]

In summary: Reedley College’s commencement attire policy revolves around a standard cap, gown and tassel system sold through the Bookstore plus optional stoles (e.g. First‑Gen or affinity group stoles) or honor cords for recognized societies. There is no publicly documented system of discipline‑color tassels or hoods. For students — and e‑commerce listings — the default expectation should be a neutral black gown and cap with standard tassel, with optional cords/stoles for those eligible.
