Seminole State College – Commencement & Academic Regalia Overview

At Seminole State College (SSC), students who plan to participate in graduation — whether at the informal Grad Walk or the formal Commencement ceremony — must RSVP and order their official regalia (cap, gown, tassel) through the SSC Bookstore.

The regalia package includes a mortarboard graduation cap, graduation gown, and tassel. The gown color is not uniform for all graduates: SSC assigns a royal blue gown for associate degree and certificate recipients, and a navy blue gown for bachelor’s degree graduates. This differentiation reflects their degree level rather than academic discipline.

Graduates nearing the end of their program must order the graduation pack by the deadline. The cost for the cap, gown, and tassel set is listed on SSC’s “Order Your Cap and Gown” page. The graduation packet also includes guest tickets or parking pass when applicable (for formal Commencement).

For recognized achievements, SSC provides **honors cords and veteran cords** at no extra charge to eligible students — as part of the regalia package. Additional “special regalia” (e.g., hoods, stoles, or cords from honors societies like Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Beta Lambda, or the college’s Honors Institute) may be worn — but such regalia must come from/ be approved by the respective organization.

The official ceremony instruction advises that graduates wear their cap with tassel on the right side until the conferral moment — then move the tassel to the left before crossing the stage at Grad Walk or Commencement.

There is no publicly available color‑chart for tassels, stoles, or discipline‑based hoods or gowns on the SSC website. The only officially documented color distinctions are the two gown colors (royal blue for associate/certificate; navy blue for bachelor). All other adornments (cords, society stoles) depend on eligibility and are managed by the issuing organization — not by a publicly published SSC-wide guideline.

In summary: Seminole State College’s commencement attire policy requires a cap, gown, and tassel set. Gown color depends on degree level (royal blue or navy blue). Honor cords or organization stoles may be worn if provided by approved societies, and tassels follow standard ceremony protocol (right-to-left). No verified public color-coding exists for tassels, stoles or hoods by discipline or honors beyond the general gown color and optional cords/hoses.
