The University of Jamestown’s commencement ceremony is the capstone event for graduates and features full academic regalia including the graduation gown, graduation cap (typically a mortarboard for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and possibly a tam for doctoral work), and tassel and hood or stole as required—forming the complete cap, gown and tassels set that marks scholarly achievement. The ceremony is held each May with separate graduate‑degree and undergraduate‑degree sessions.

Undergraduate (bachelor’s) candidates at the University of Jamestown wear the standard black graduation gown paired with a mortarboard‑style graduation cap. Their tassel typically reflects the student’s degree discipline or institutional colour, and moves from right to left after conferral of the degree. The gown remains the traditional black base, ensuring a unified and formal appearance among graduates.

For candidates earning a master’s degree, the gown remains the regulated black graduation gown, the graduation cap is also worn, and the hood may be required depending on the program. The tassel and hood trim reflect discipline‑specific colors consistent with academic regalia standards. Honor cords and stoles may be worn to indicate academic distinction or membership in honor societies, provided they meet university guidelines.

Doctoral graduates follow advanced academic‑regalia protocol at the University of Jamestown: while the base graduation gown remains black, the gown may include additional styling, and the graduation cap may be a tam rather than a mortarboard. The tassel and hood reflect the discipline and usually include specific colours and symbolic trimming. Faculty and academic officials each wear traditional faculty regalia: a gown in black, an academic hood lined in institutional colours, and velvet or trim indicating their discipline and highest degree. This ensures a consistent, collective presentation of academic regalia during the ceremony. Graduates are encouraged to order or rent their full cap, gown and tassels sets early to ensure participation and adherence to regalia requirements.
