Tunxis Community College

Tunxis Community College (a campus of CT State) holds a formal commencement ceremony where graduates wear classic academic regalia. According to Tunxis’s Graduation Information page, students can pick up their graduation gown and cap at the campus bookstore in early May.

The college’s commencement program (e.g., 2023) describes the academic attire in detail. Graduates at the associate or bachelor level wear long‑pointed sleeve gowns, while master’s degree recipients wear gowns with distinctive oblong sleeves. For doctoral graduates, the gown has bell-shaped sleeves, velvet facings, and three velvet bars on each sleeve.

Regarding tassels, the program notes that associate, bachelor, and master’s students wear “silk tassels” with their mortarboard caps. For doctoral students, the tassel is specifically **gold**, signaling the high academic level.

Tunxis also uses academic hoods for master’s and doctoral graduates. The hood’s satin lining is in the colors of Tunxis College, and the velvet trim (or edging) represents the graduate’s field of study. Common hood trim colors listed in the program include **white** for arts and humanities, **light blue** for education, **gold** for science, **olive** for business, and **orange** for engineering.

On honor cords and stoles: the College’s older commencement‑info mailer mentions honor cords in its “Honors Criteria”: students with GPAs of 3.4–3.69 (“Honors”), 3.7–3.89 (“High Honors”), and 3.9–4.0 (“Highest Honors”) are eligible for cords. However, their exact cord colors or official stole‑color guidelines are not clearly published in recent catalog or ceremony program materials.

In summary, Tunxis Community College’s academic regalia for commencement centers on a **graduation gown**, **mortarboard cap**, and tassels (silk for undergraduates & master’s; gold for doctoral), with hoods that use tunxis collegiate colors and discipline‑based velvet trim. While honor cords are part of the honors system, the exact color scheme for cords or stoles is not well documented in current public sources.
