Santa Rosa Junior College – Commencement & Academic Regalia Summary

Santa Rosa Junior College holds an annual commencement ceremony, with the next scheduled for May 24, 2025 at Bailey Field Stadium on the Santa Rosa campus.

All participating graduates must purchase an official regalia set — cap, gown, and tassel — from the SRJC Bookstore (Santa Rosa or Petaluma campus). Rental is not offered; the regalia set becomes the student’s property. Ordering opens typically in late April, with a “Grad Fair” organized by the Bookstore to facilitate sales and encourage early purchase.

The standard regalia set includes a mortarboard graduation cap, a black academic gown and a black tassel. For students qualifying for academic honors, an alternate “honors” tassel (gold) is available.

The College’s public commencement and bookstore pages mention optional stoles and sashes that graduates may order — these are customizable and not tied to a publicly published color‑chart. The “Custom Stoles” link offered by the Bookstore and external vendors shows that stoles and sashes are treated as personal or organizational adornments, not as regulated academic‑regalia.

There is no publicly available handbook, PDF, or policy document from SRJC that defines a standardized color‑chart linking tassels, hoods, cords, or stoles to degree types or academic disciplines. Nor is there a publicly documented policy for faculty regalia, doctoral hoods, or discipline‑specific gowns. A review of SRJC’s catalog and student‑handbook reveals no mention of discipline‑based tassel colors or hood/stole requirements.

In summary: SRJC mandates that graduates wear a purchased cap, black gown and tassel to Commencement. Honors graduates may opt for a gold tassel. Optional stoles/sashes may be purchased — but there is no public SRJC standard for tassel, hood, cord, or stole colors by major, degree level, or faculty status. All specialized or decorative regalia should be viewed as optional and vendor‑provided, not institutionally regulated.
