Saint Peter's University Commencement & Academic Regalia Summary

Saint Peter’s University organizes its commencement ceremonies for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degree candidates once they have met all degree‑conferral requirements. Students must submit a graduation application during the published deadline and meet all program requirements to participate in the official Commencement Ceremony.

For commencement attendance, SPU partners with an official vendor (KeyPlus) to provide academic regalia — cap, gown and tassel — for undergraduates and master’s students at no cost (apart from a shipping/handling fee). Doctoral students are required to purchase their regalia package.

The standard regalia for bachelor’s and master’s graduates includes a cap and gown (with hood for master’s recipients). For doctoral candidates, a full doctoral gown, hood, and deluxe options are available. The provided regalia must be ordered before the deadline — the “regalia order portal” closes before each Commencement.

SPU’s “Faculty Regalia” policy indicates that faculty and other procession participants must order academic garb via the same vendor and strict ordering guidelines apply; group orders are not permitted — each order must be individual.

What is *not* publicly documented: SPU does **not** publish a publicly accessible color‑coded chart mapping tassel, hood, stole, or honor‑cord colors to academic disciplines, degree levels or honours status. Searches of the Student Handbook and Commencement policies reveal no mention of discipline‑specific regalia colors or an official stole/honor‑cord color scheme. Therefore, while SPU provides regalia, there is no public basis to define or confirm official tassel or stole colors by major or honor level.

In summary: Saint Peter’s University requires students to wear official academic regalia — cap, gown, (hood for master’s/doctoral) — supplied via the official vendor. Regalia is free for undergraduates and master’s students (shipping fee applies); doctoral students must purchase their own. Faculty attending commencement must also order their regalia separately. However, SPU does not publicly support a color‑coded system for tassels, stoles or hoods tied to academic discipline — meaning external regalia suppliers should treat tassel and stole colors as generic or customizable rather than “officially mandated.”
