Southern Technical College – Official Graduation Regalia Guide
Graduation at Southern Technical College requires approved academic regalia — cap, gown, and tassel — for all credential‑earning students. Below is a concise summary of STC’s public policy on graduation attire, and what is (and isn’t) specified about tassel, hood or stole colors for different credentials or disciplines.
Cap & Gown Requirements for Graduation
Every candidate for graduation must wear the official cap and gown prescribed by STC. The mortarboard (graduation cap) and graduation gown are standard parts of the academic regalia package.
Graduation eligibility depends on completion of program requirements, satisfactory academic progress, and clearance of any obligations.
Caps, Tassels & Graduation Ceremony Participation
- Cap must be the official mortarboard issued/purchased for STC commencement.
- Tassel is assumed to be part of the regalia package — however, STC does not publicly specify tassel colors by degree level or program.
Honor Cords, Stoles & Discipline‑Specific Regalia Colors
Southern Technical College’s public documentation does not provide a discipline-wise color chart for tassels, hoods, stoles, or honor cords. There is no public mention of honors cords or stoles tied to GPA, honors societies, or program-specific colors.
Therefore — whether you are graduating from a technical program, allied health, trades, or other disciplines at STC — the standard graduation regalia tends to be uniform. Any variation in tassel, hood, or stole color would require verification directly from STC’s Registrar or authorized regalia supplier.
Important Notes for Regents & Regalia Retailers
- Only the officially-issued cap and gown from STC should be used for commencement; external or custom gowns may not be compliant.
- Do not assume discipline‑based color variation — no publicly available source confirms such variations at Southern Technical College.
- If listing or selling “STC graduation regalia sets,” include a clear disclaimer: “Tassel, hood or stole colors vary per program as assigned by Southern Technical College; verify with the Registrar or Bookstore before ordering.”
- Ensure buyers understand that any cords or stoles for honors, organizations, or special recognition are not standard or publicly codified at STC — may be optional or institution‑specific if available.
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Southern 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.
