Short Description

Official Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College graduation regalia guide — black cap & gown sets, tassels, honor cords and stoles for associate, bachelor, master, and doctoral graduates.

Long Description – Cap, Gown, Tassel & Regalia Details

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College provides commencement regalia to graduates: a black gown and mortarboard cap (or doctoral tam), plus an academic hood. Graduates receive a tassel they may keep. For doctoral recipients, full Ph.D. regalia must be rented or purchased.

Honor cords and stoles highlight academic achievement or affiliation: associate-degree honors are denoted by navy-blue cords; bachelor’s Latin honors by Pomeroy blue cords (single, double or triple depending on cum laude, magna, summa). Master’s graduates with GPA ≥ 3.95 “With Honors” receive triple white cords.

Students who belong to recognized honors societies, serve in the military, or wish to represent their cultural heritage may wear approved stoles; multiple honors (cords, stoles, medals) may be worn together. Medals (e.g. for special academic programs) are also permitted.

After Commencement, borrowed items (gown, hood, cap) must be returned; tassels, cords, stoles, and medals remain with the graduate.
