San Francisco Bay University Commencement and Academic Regalia Overview

San Francisco Bay University (SFBU) holds an annual commencement ceremony — typically in May — to celebrate graduates earning bachelor’s or master’s degrees.

For commencement, all participating graduates must obtain and wear academic regalia: a cap and gown. SFBU issues gowns and mortarboard caps (with fees: undergraduate regalia costs US$50, graduate regalia costs US$75) which students can reserve via online request; pick‑up is scheduled in the days before commencement.

The university outlines a business‑casual dress code under the gown — no jeans, sneakers, t‑shirts, or unrelated hats are allowed; graduates must wear the cap (mortarboard) and gown.

SFBU’s public commencement page makes clear that the ceremony is a formal academic event: guests are limited, graduates must check in, line up by department, and follow direction from faculty marshals.

However — despite the detailed logistics — SFBU’s public‑facing materials (handbook, commencement FAQs, catalog) do **not** appear to publish a formal academic‑regalia “color scheme” or “honor cord/stole color code.” I found no mention of tassel colors tied to disciplines, or a standardized stole/honor‑cord policy in the publicly available handbook or catalog documents. (Their student handbook and catalog cover general academic and institutional policy but omit specific regalia color codes.)

Therefore, while SFBU provides cap and gown for all graduates — ensuring a cohesive, dignified ceremony — there is **no publicly available documentation** confirming official tassel color, honor‑cord/stole color, or discipline‑specific academic regalia traditions. As such, graduates may be receiving a standard gown/tassel set, without a formal color‑coded regalia system published for public reference.
