St. Mary’s Seminary & University — Commencement & Academic Regalia Overview

St. Mary’s Seminary & University holds annual commencement events for graduates of its School of Theology and affiliated ecclesiastical faculties. The graduation ceremony celebrates theological degrees awarded to seminarians and graduates of the Ecumenical Institute.

Academic Regalia: Cap, Gown & Hood / Tassel

While St. Mary’s Seminary does not publicly publish a detailed regalia‑color chart, it is customary in academic settings to use a black graduation gown and mortarboard or clerical‑style cap for undergraduate or basic theology-level degrees, with variations for advanced or ecclesiastical degrees. Hoods (if used) would traditionally signify degree level and possibly field of study.

Honor Cords, Stoles & Additional Insignia

No public master list of honor‑cord, stole or sash colors is available. If honor cords, stoles, or ecclesiastical insignia are used — for example, to denote special honors, ministry roles, or religious affiliation — such items appear to be managed on a case-by-case basis, rather than by a published school-wide code. Students and graduates may not assume standard colors for cords or stoles without direct seminary confirmation.

Faculty & Institutional Regalia

Faculty, formators and ecclesiastical officials at St. Mary’s Seminary wear appropriate academic or clerical dress during liturgies and formal events associated with graduation, though no public documentation outlines a fixed “faculty regalia color code.”

Because SMSU does not publicly provide a detailed regalia‑color code for tassels, hoods, honor cords, or stoles, this listing offers a generic cap & gown set. Buyers should contact SMSU’s Registrar or Commencement Office to confirm what specific hood trim, stole or cord colors are required (if any) for their degree or ordination class.

For those ordering: this set is ideal for theology or divinity graduates, seminarians, clergy in formation — or for alumni seeking a basic regalia package when official regalia guidelines are not accessible publicly.

• Graduate / Ecclesiastical Degree Set: Gown + cap + optional hood / vestment (hood color/trim to be confirmed).
