Southwestern Oklahoma State University organizes commencement ceremonies for graduates who have completed degree requirements. According to SWOSU’s “The Big Day” instructions, graduates must arrive in full academic regalia. Graduates lineup in the designated field house about 30 minutes before each ceremony.

The official regalia package — including graduation cap, gown, and tassel — is provided to degree candidates at no extra cost as part of the graduation fee. SWOSU’s “Senior Salute” or “Grad Event” notifications instruct eligible students to pick up their caps, gowns, and tassels at the campus bookstore before commencement.

For the ceremony, graduates are instructed to wear the tassel on the right side of the cap before the degree is conferred. At the designated moment during convocation, students move the tassel to the left side — symbolizing the completion of their degree.

Publicly available SWOSU documents and bookstore announcements do **not** reference any color‑coding scheme for tassels, hoods, stoles, or honor cords tied to academic discipline, degree level (bachelor, master, doctoral), or honors. There is no accessible academic‑dress policy that defines velvet‑trimmed gowns, discipline‑based tassel colors, or hood/stole color charts.

As a result, it appears that SWOSU follows a **uniform academic‑regalia standard** for all graduates: a standard cap, gown, and tassel set, regardless of major or degree. While the bookstore offers additional items such as diploma frames and stoles for sale at “Grad Event,” these appear optional and are likely generic — not tied to a published regalia color‑code policy.
