Triton College

Triton College (River Grove, Illinois) holds its annual commencement for graduating students with a formal ceremony at a partner venue, usually requiring graduates to arrive early for check‑in. According to Triton’s Commencement Information page, the college recognizes honor societies such as Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) and Kappa Beta Delta (KBD), and enables students to order stoles, cords, and tassels associated with those groups.

Despite the ceremonial structure, Triton’s 2025 Student Handbook does not include a detailed academic regalia color‑code chart.The handbook confirms the institutional colors of Triton College as **cardinal red and gold** (the colors of the Triton College Student Association), but it does not explicitly assign these colors to graduation gowns, tassels, or stoles.

There is no publicly available policy in Triton’s documents specifying distinct gown colors by degree type (associate, certificate, etc.), nor are there official references to faculty regalia color, honor cord schemes, or stole color by honor society or major. The commencement FAQ suggests that students in PTK or KBD order their own regalia (stole, cords, tassel), implying that Triton College does not centrally issue all cords and stoles.

Because of the lack of a formal published color chart for academic dress, there is limited clarity for graduation gowns, tassels, honor cords, and stoles for Triton graduates. To ensure compliance with Triton College’s commencement standards, students and alumni should consult the Registrar or Student Life / Commencement Office directly for the most current regalia guidance before purchasing academic regalia sets.
