Simmons University holds formal commencement ceremonies requiring all degree candidates to wear official academic regalia, including a graduation cap or tam, gown, tassel, and, where applicable, a hood. Undergraduate students wear a navy-blue gown with a matching mortarboard cap and tassel, while master’s candidates wear a navy gown with a hood lined in program colors, and doctoral candidates wear a black custom gown with velvet trim, a tam, and a program-colored hood. Honors students are recognized with approved cords or stoles, including combinations like blue and gold or red, silver, and gold for Latin honors. The university also allows optional affinity or identity stoles representing cultural, heritage, or LGBTQIA affiliations, as well as a standard white Simmons University stole. Cap decoration is permitted within guidelines that prohibit profanity, hate speech, or obstructive designs. Simmons University provides detailed policies on ordering, wearing, and returning regalia, ensuring a uniform, dignified, and professional appearance for all graduates. This official academic regalia ensures a cohesive and visually unified ceremony for stage recognition, diploma conferral, and graduation photography. While the university clearly specifies regalia for degree levels and honors distinctions, colors for faculty regalia and additional departmental or program-specific regalia are not publicly defined, allowing for flexibility and customization within approved guidelines. Simmons University’s approach to commencement attire balances institutional uniformity, academic recognition, and personal expression through approved cords, stoles, and cap decorations, providing graduates with a memorable, professional, and celebratory graduation experience while maintaining a polished and organized ceremony.
