University of Mary Hardin–Baylor

The University of Mary Hardin–Baylor commencement ceremony is a significant academic milestone celebrating the conferral of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Graduates are required to wear full academic regalia — including the graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard or tam), tassel, and eligible honor cords or stoles — forming a unified cap, gown and tassels set. The standard graduation gown color is black for most degrees, consistent with academic‑regalia tradition, and the university emphasises correct regalia use as part of the ceremony.

For bachelor’s graduates at UMHB, students must purchase or rent their cap and gown and arrive one hour prior to the ceremony with their full regalia including the robe, mortarboard cap and the official tassel. The university requires use of approved honor cords — typically purple and gold cords for undergraduate graduates at check‑in. Master’s students also wear the standard black gown and mortarboard cap, but their academic hood and tassel reflect the specific discipline colour as outlined by the institution’s academic‑robes and regalia chart. Doctoral candidates wear the most formal academic‑regalia — their gowns are full‑cut with velvet panels or bars, a tam cap, and tassel often in gold or discipline‑specific color, while the hood displays the university’s colors and the discipline’s trim.

Faculty and academic officials at UMHB wear traditional academic dress: black gowns, hoods lined in the university’s colors, and velvet or trim indicating the faculty member’s discipline. Graduates and faculty thus present a cohesive and dignified appearance, supporting the ceremony’s formal tone. UMHB’s publicly posted “Academic Robes and Regalia” information lists discipline hood colors such as White for Arts/Letters/Humanities, Light Blue for Education, Apricot for Nursing, Teal for Physical Therapy, Scarlet for Theology, among others.

The university strongly notes that only UMHB‑approved cords may be worn and that the mortarboard may be decorated so long as it aligns with Christian values and regalia guidelines. Proper selection and use of cap, gown and tassels sets — including cords or stoles for eligible students — ensures the commencement event preserves tradition and maintains a uniform visual standard across graduates, faculty and attendees.
