University of Maine at Farmington

The University of Maine at Farmington invites its graduates to join a distinguished commencement ceremony where each candidate wears the full academic regalia: the graduation gown, the graduation cap, the tassel and, when applicable, honor cords or stoles—creating a unified cap, gown and tassels set for the milestone event. According to UMF’s commencement guidelines, all degree candidates—bachelor’s, master’s or certificates—must order the approved gown and cap in advance to participate in the ceremony. Although the publication focuses on standard attire, the emphasis remains on the traditional academic regalia look: the graduation gown colour is the base black, the graduation cap is a classic mortarboard style, and the tassel completes the look.

For bachelor’s candidates, the requirement is the standard black graduation gown paired with a mortarboard graduation cap, and the appropriate tassel as directed by the university’s bookstore or commencement office. Eligible graduates may wear honor cords or stoles if recognized for academic honours or membership in student organisations; however, detailed colour charts for each cord or stole are not broadly published online. Graduate candidates pursuing master’s degrees likewise wear the black master’s gown, the mortarboard cap (or specialty cap if programme‑designated), and tassel aligned with their status—sometimes accompanied by a hood or stole for graduate recognition. Doctoral candidates—if offered by UMF—would follow advanced academic regalia standards: a gown styled for doctoral level with velvet panels or bars, a tam or approved cap, and a tassel/hood signalling doctoral distinction.

Faculty and academic officials wear traditional faculty regalia: black gown shells, hoods lined in UMF’s institutional colours, and velvet or trim indicating the faculty member’s discipline and degree level. Though UMF’s publicly accessible materials do not provide a full table of tassel or stole colours by field of study, the expectation is clear: all participants must order, wear, and present their regalia properly. Graduates are advised to purchase or rent their cap, gown and tassels sets early and verify with the bookstore or commencement office for any programme‑specific variations or restrictions. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a cohesive, formal academic appearance and honours the tradition of commencement at the University of Maine at Farmington.
