Taft College Commencement Ceremony & Academic Regalia Overview

The Taft College commencement ceremony is designed to recognize students who have earned certificates and degrees and invites all eligible graduates to participate in the formal ceremony. The official regalia requirement specifies that every participating graduate must wear a proper graduation cap (mortarboard) and matching graduation gown.

Taft College’s ceremony timeline clearly states that graduates must arrive dressed in the cap and gown set and line up at the designated stadium location.The gown color is noted simply as the standard gown for all graduates; the official instructions emphasise that the cap and gown must be worn zipped and properly fitted. The tassel, as part of the cap-and-gown assembly, is included in the package ordered through the Taft College Bookstore during the Grad Fair timeline.

Honors such as scholastic recognition are addressed by Taft College: students achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above receive Highest Scholastic Honors; those between 3.00–3.49 receive Scholastic Honors.While the publicly available documents do not list specific honor cord colors, stoles or discipline-based hood colors, students are encouraged to confirm with the Registrar’s Office for any additional honor cords, stoles or academic regalia accessories beyond the standard cap, gown and tassel set.

Faculty and academic staff participating in the procession wear faculty regalia appropriate to their degree level and discipline, consistent with standard academic regalia conventions, although Taft College does not publish a full discipline colour chart in the readily available ceremony instructions. As with any academic regalia purchase, graduates, alumni and faculty are advised to order their cap, gown and tassel sets well ahead of the deadline and verify their honor cords or stoles for commencement-day compliance.

In summary: Taft College’s commencement requires a cap and gown set with tassel; honors recognition is built into the ceremony; and while standard accessories such as honor cords and stoles exist, the exact color conventions for cords, stoles and discipline-specific regalia are not publicly listed and should be verified individually.
