Truckee Meadows Community College

Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) holds its annual commencement ceremony for graduates, typically in May, at the Lawlor Events Center in Reno. Graduates check in and gather before lining up for a formal procession, and the event includes traditional academic regalia such as graduation gowns, caps, tassels, honor cords, and stoles.

According to TMCC’s official Commencement Regalia Procedure, students may wear cords, stoles, and tassels to signify academic achievement, membership in recognized organizations, or special recognition. TMCC allows multiple cords and tassels to be worn, but limits stoles to one per student.

The policy also provides a detailed list of approved colors for cords and stoles: for instance, the “Distinction and 4.0” recognition uses a **yellow cord, tassel, and medal**, while the “Diversity Student Recognition” is honored by a **purple cord**. International students may wear a stole bearing their national flag and a **green tassel**, and veterans use a red, white, and blue tassel, with branch‑specific stoles for four‑year degree earners.

Other academic and program-specific regalia include: a **gold stole** for Lambda Nu (Radiologic/Nuclear Imaging Sciences), a **teal & black cord** for the veterinary technicians program, a **white nursing stole**, and a **black stole with green geometrics** for Native American students. TMCC also permits a “Stole of Gratitude” in red with a blue TMCC seal, and a **silver & black double cord** for student government.

When it comes to academic honors, TMCC provides **gold cords and tassels** for students graduating with honors; these are distributed the day of commencement at an honors table. For purchase, TMCC’s bookstore sells the full regalia set — gown, cap, and tassel — and allows order placement via Herff‑Jones

In summary, TMCC’s commencement combines traditional academic dress — including graduation gowns and mortarboard caps — with a rich, color-coded system of tassels, cords, and stoles. These elements reflect a variety of achievements, honor societies, programs, and student identities, while following formal regalia rules set by the college.
