Simmons College of Kentucky requires all graduating students to wear the official academic regalia for commencement ceremonies, including a graduation cap and gown. Eligible students must submit a graduation application, pay the graduation fee, and meet all academic and service-learning requirements to participate. The graduation fee typically covers the cost of the official cap and gown. Honors graduates are recognized with Latin honors distinctions such as Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Summa Cum Laude based on GPA criteria. While the college mandates official regalia for all graduates, the publicly available materials do not specify a standard color scheme for graduation gowns, caps, tassels, hoods, honor cords, or stoles for undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral students. Similarly, faculty regalia colors and discipline-specific regalia are not defined in public handbooks or catalogs. The college also does not provide a public guide for optional adornments such as cords or stoles for academic honors, programs, or student organizations. This allows for flexibility in customizing accessories or personal decorations, although any modifications should comply with college guidelines for professional and ceremonial appropriateness. As a result, while all graduates are required to wear a cap and gown, the specific appearance of academic regalia — including tassel color, hood lining, honor cords, and stoles — is not publicly standardized. The emphasis is on ensuring that all graduates present a cohesive and dignified appearance during commencement ceremonies, with recognition of academic honors through GPA-based awards. Official regalia ensures a uniform look for stage recognition, diploma conferral, and graduation photography, providing students with a professional and memorable graduation experience. This approach allows for celebration of academic achievement while maintaining the ceremonial standards established by Simmons College of Kentucky.
