University of Guam

The University of Guam (UOG) holds its commencement ceremonies with traditional academic regalia, requiring graduates to wear a graduation gown, mortarboard cap, and colored hoods and stoles that reflect academic honor and discipline. According to the UOG Fanuchånan 2024 commencement booklet, the gowns used by bachelor’s candidates have pointed sleeves; master’s gowns feature oblong sleeves, and doctoral gowns have bell sleeves with velvet facings and three velvet bars.

The tassel color at UOG varies by degree: undergraduate tassels are worn on the right before the degree is conferred, then moved to the left. For doctoral graduates, the booklet indicates their tassel color is gold. Honor stoles denote academic achievement: graduates awarded Latin honors receive a gold stole at the ceremony.

In addition to stoles, UOG uses a hood color system for advanced degrees, with velvet edging that identifies the field of study. According to the commencement booklet, some of the hood velvet colors used are: white for arts & humanities, drab for business administration, light blue for education, apricot for nursing, dark blue for philosophy, and golden yellow for science.

Faculty participating in the procession and conferral wear full academic robes and hoods in colors that correspond to their academic disciplines, in alignment with UOG’s regalia traditions. The academic procession is structured: first degree candidates by academic level, followed by faculty, platform party, and university leadership.

Graduating students must order their cap, gown, and tassel ahead of time through the UOG Triton Store. The UOG “Graduating Students” page provides a commencement checklist, including a regalia pickup from the Triton Store once the order is fulfilled. Honor stoles, particularly those for Latin honors, are made available for pickup on ceremony day.

Overall, UOG’s commencement attire blends classic academic regalia—gowns, tassels, and hoods—with vibrant hood colors that reflect each discipline, and gold honor stoles to mark academic distinction. The system ensures a visually unified and meaningful graduation experience.
