SRTC holds graduation ceremonies where eligible graduates from degree, diploma, or certificate programs may participate after completing all academic and financial requirements. Students must submit a graduation application and pay a graduation fee to participate. Once approved, SRTC issues official graduation regalia for the ceremony. Only those whose applications are processed and obligations cleared may walk in commencement.

Academic Regalia: Cap, Gown & Tassel Rules

For participation in commencement, SRTC mandates officially issued academic regalia. Graduates must wear the cap and gown provided by the college — personal robes or third-party academic wear are not allowed. The standard tassel is worn on the right side of the cap before degree conferral; after the degree is awarded, graduates move the tassel to the left. This protocol applies to all candidates.

Honor Graduates & Special Regalia Adornments

SRTC recognizes “honor graduates” — those earning a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher — who may wear a special honor tassel and/or sash during the graduation ceremony. All other graduates wear the standard black tassel. However, SRTC does not appear to offer a publicly available, color-coded chart for tassels, stoles, or cords tied to different academic disciplines, degree levels, or honors beyond the honor-graduate designation. Stoles or cords, other than the honor-graduate sash, are generally not part of the standard regalia policy.

Conclusion — What Is Known and What Is Not

In summary: SRTC’s public commencement and regalia policy requires a standard issued cap, gown, and tassel for all participating graduates. Honor-graduate recognition allows a distinctive honor tassel or sash, but beyond this, there is no documented system of color-coded tassels, stoles, cords, or discipline-based regalia available in public materials. Therefore, any description of more elaborate or color-coded academic regalia for SRTC must be treated as speculative, unless verified by the college.

Southern Regional Technical College – Official Graduation Regalia Guide

Graduation at SRTC requires approved academic regalia — including graduation gown, mortarboard cap and tassel — for all eligible graduates participating in commencement ceremonies. Below is a concise summary of SRTC’s public stance on graduation attire and what is (and isn’t) specified for tassel, hood, stole or honor-cord colors by program or credential type.

Cap & Gown Requirements for Graduation

All graduating students must wear the standard academic gown (robe) and mortarboard cap as part of the official regalia package. Only approved regalia — purchased or issued via SRTC’s designated bookstore or supplier — is valid for commencement participation.

Standard Tassel & Regalia Set

A basic tassel comes included with the cap and gown — forming the standard regalia set for every graduate.
There is no publicly published information about tassel color variation by academic program, degree level, or specialization.

Honor Cords, Stoles, Hoods & Discipline-Based Colors

No public color chart: SRTC does not provide a discipline-level or degree-level mapping for tassel, hood, stole, or honor-cord colors in any publicly accessible handbook or graduation guide.

No documented honor-cord/stole program: There is no publicly available policy that outlines official honor cords, stoles, or their designated colors based on honors status or academic discipline.

Recommendation for buyers/vendors: Treat any custom-colored tassels, hoods or stoles as optional add-ons. Clearly state that actual color assignments should be confirmed with SRTC’s Registrar or authorized bookstore before purchase.

Guidance for Graduates & Vendors

Only use officially issued regalia (cap, gown, tassel) from SRTC’s approved vendor or bookstore for commencement.
Avoid making assumptions about discipline-specific colors — SRTC hasn’t publicly codified such a scheme.
If offering or purchasing additional items (cords, stoles, colored tassels), include a clear notice: “Color and eligibility to be verified with SRTC Registrar or Bookstore.”

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Southern Regional Technical College , you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
