University of Louisiana at Monroe

The University of Louisiana at Monroe commencement ceremony honours graduates from associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes with a distinguished academic procession. All degree candidates must wear full academic regalia—comprising the graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel, and when applicable a hood or stole—forming a unified cap, gown and tassels set that reflects scholarly accomplishment and tradition. The ULM Commencement “A to Z” guide emphasizes that caps and gowns are required for participation.

Undergraduate (associate and bachelor’s) and master’s candidates at ULM wear the traditional black graduation gown and a mortarboard graduation cap. Tassels reflect discipline‑colour trim according to the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume. ULM’s published hood‑and‑trim guide lists colours such as White for Arts & Humanities, Light Blue for Education, Golden Yellow for Science, and Dark Blue for Philosophy. Honor cords and stoles recognise academic distinctions: maroon and gold cords are worn by cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude graduates; white cords for associate‑degree honours.

Doctoral candidates at ULM follow the advanced academic‑regalia protocol: although the base graduation gown remains black, the doctoral gown features velvet panels, the graduation cap may be a tam, and the tassel/hood includes discipline‑specific colours. The hood’s velvet edging and lining are selected to match the academic field of the degree – for example, Scarlet for Theology, Apricot for Nursing, Olive Green for Pharmacy.

Faculty regalia at ULM also upholds tradition: faculty wear black gowns, academic hoods lined in ULM’s colours and velvet or trim reflecting their discipline. This ensures a cohesive and dignified appearance through the ceremony. Graduates and faculty alike are required to order or rent their cap, gown and tassels sets ahead of the ceremony to guarantee participation.
