Spring Arbor University holds its commencement ceremonies annually on campus at University Plaza — with separate ceremonies for traditional-campus students (morning) and for graduate or online/remote students (afternoon). All graduates wishing to participate must order their cap and gown in advance; on-site pick-up at commencement is not provided.

Academic regalia for undergraduate and graduate students includes the classic graduation cap (mortarboard), graduation gown, and a tassel. Hoods are provided when applicable (e.g. for graduate degrees), to reflect academic status and field of study.

For undergraduate graduates eligible for academic honors (e.g. cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude), SAU awards honors cords or distinctions at the commencement — cords are given to denote honors status.

The requirement to order regalia ahead of time, and to ship it to the student’s residence, ensures that each graduate appears in proper academic dress. Combined — graduation cap, gown, tassel, and where applicable hood and honor cords — these garments form a complete cap and gown tassels set that upholds the dignity and tradition of Spring Arbor commencement ceremonies.

In short: Spring Arbor University’s commencement and regalia policy emphasizes orderly, uniform academic regalia; mandatory graduation gown and cap for participation; pre-ordered gowns shipped prior to the ceremony; and recognition of academic honors via cords or other approved honor regalia. The consistent use of cap and gown, tassels and honor cords/stoles ensures graduates present a unified, respectful appearance at commencement.
