Sampson Community College (SCC) conducts its graduation ceremonies annually in the spring — for example, the Spring 2025 commencement was held on May 8 at the Sampson County Exposition Center, bringing together students graduating through traditional degree, diploma, dual‑enrollment or certificate pathways.
According to the official SCC Graduation page, all students participating in commencement must wear a black mortarboard cap and a black graduation gown with a college‑issued SCC tassel. Regalia may be purchased or borrowed through the College’s regalia provider.
The publicly available information does not specify any official color‑coded tassel, honor cord, or stole scheme linked to degree level (associate, certificate, etc.), academic honors, or discipline of study. There is no downloadable student handbook or ceremony guide on the SCC website that defines different toga / hood / stole colors by major or honors. Examination of the 2025 course catalog and Graduation page reveals that the college expects a standard black cap and gown for all graduates — and does not mention hoods, faculty regalia, or discipline‑based academic robes.

Thus, aside from the universal black gown and mortarboard with SCC tassel, and the opportunity to borrow or buy regalia via the College’s approved vendor, there is **no public documentation** of honor cords, stoles, or discipline‑specific regalia colors. Any claim of “official SCC colors for honors cords or stoles” would be speculative.
In summary: SCC’s commencement and academic‑regalia policy is simple and standardized — all graduates wear a black cap, gown, and SCC tassel. There is no publicly ratified color‑coded system for honor cords, stoles, or discipline-specific academic regalia. This ensures a uniform, dignified commencement appearance, but limits ability to assign or market degree‑ or discipline‑specific regalia sets based on publicly available data.
