Southwestern Christian University

Southwestern Christian University provides official academic regalia to all eligible graduates participating in commencement. Graduates pick up their cap, gown and tassel (and hood if applicable) from the Registrar’s Office the week before the ceremony, after clearing all academic and financial obligations.

The standard academic‑regalia package includes a mortarboard cap with a tassel, and a graduation gown. For advanced‑degree candidates (graduate level), a hood may accompany the gown and any honor regalia (medallion, honor cords) if applicable.

Tassels for undergraduate candidates are worn on the right side of the mortarboard prior to degree conferral; for graduate candidates, the tassel is worn on the left. Honor regalia — such as cords, medallions or hoods — may be worn over the gown, provided the official regalia set was issued by SCU.

SCU’s publicly available documentation does not supply a color‑coding chart or guidelines tying tassel, hood, or honor‑cord colors to specific degrees, majors, or disciplines. Therefore, there is no public evidence of discipline‑based tassel colors, hood trim colors, or mandated stole colors for SCU commencement.

In short: SCU uses a centralized regalia issuance system for commencement that covers cap, gown, tassel (and hood/hood‑cap where appropriate). But the absence of a public color‑code chart or discipline‑based distinctions means that academic regalia at SCU should be treated as a uniform, institution‑controlled standard, not a customizable or color‑coded system.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Southwestern Christian University , 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.
