Taylor Business Institute Commencement Ceremony & Academic Regalia Overview

The Taylor Business Institute commencement ceremony is a formal event recognizing students who have completed their degree programs and are eligible to graduate. According to the institute’s graduation guidelines, students attending the ceremony must wear full academic regalia — including the graduation cap (mortarboard), the matching graduation gown and the tassel that accompanies the cap. The graduation gown color is standardized for all eligible candidates and the regalia set is included in the graduation fee, which covers cap, gown and accessories.

The graduation cap, gown and tassel set is provided or ordered prior to the ceremony and students must ensure they arrive properly dressed and meet all clearance requirements. The tassel on the graduation cap is an important symbol: it begins on one side of the cap and is moved to the other side when the degree is officially conferred. Honor cords and stoles are recognized accessories alongside the standard cap, gown and tassel sets: students may receive honor cords for academic achievement or membership in honors programs, and stoles may be worn to signify special recognitions or involvement in campus organizations.

While the publicly available handbook does not provide an exhaustive list of tassel colors, honor cord colors or stoles by degree level (bachelor, master, doctoral) or discipline, the general practice at the institute is that students should verify which accessory colors are appropriate for their honors status or program. For example, bachelor-level graduates wear the standard gown and tassel set, with additional honor cords or stoles if applicable. For advanced degrees or faculty regalia participants, full academic regalia (hoods, different sleeves or velvet trim) may apply — though the institution relies on standard academic conventions for advanced levels.

Faculty members participating in the processional wear faculty regalia reflecting their highest earned degree and academic discipline. The faculty regalia typically includes a gown with distinctive design features and may include a hood or stole consistent with institutional colours and academic tradition.

In summary: Graduates at Taylor Business Institute should ensure they have ordered or received their cap, gown and tassel set ahead of the ceremony, confirm any honor cord or stole color applicable to their program or honors level, and if they are faculty or advanced‐degree recipients verify their academic regalia requirements. Proper adherence to cap, gown and tassels sets ensures your appearance aligns with the institute’s commencement standards and presents a professional, unified look in the ceremony.
