University of Mary

The University of Mary hosts a distinguished commencement ceremony each spring to celebrate graduates from bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs. Graduates walk the stage in full academic regalia including the graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard or tam for doctoral), tassel, and—where applicable—hoods, honor cords or stoles, forming a complete cap, gown and tassels set consistently.

For bachelor’s degree recipients, the standard graduation gown color is black, paired with a mortarboard graduation cap and a matching tassel. The University of Mary requires students to purchase their own regalia and makes clear the attire guidelines ahead of the ceremony.

Master’s graduates also wear a black graduation gown and mortarboard cap, along with a tassel and a master’s hood appropriate to their specific degree type. The hood signals the discipline of the award and aligns with academic‑regalia tradition at the university.

Doctoral level graduates at the University of Mary wear the most advanced academic regalia: a black doctoral gown, a black tam cap, a yellow tassel (as the designated doctoral color), and a doctoral hood appropriate to their degree field. These components combine to make a complete and formal cap, gown and tassels set for doctoral recipients.

Faculty regalia likewise adhere to traditional academic dress standards: faculty wear the appropriate gowns, hoods lined in the university’s colours, and discipline‑specific velvet trim or hoods as required. Honor cords and stoles may be issued for achievements such as Latin honours or military service; for example, undergraduates eligible for Latin honours may receive gold honor cords, while graduates with military service may select a red‑white‑and‑blue tassel in honor of service.

The University emphasises ordering your regalia in advance through approved vendors and wearing it properly during the ceremony to maintain the tradition and dignity of the event. Proper use of your cap, gown and tassels set—including correct gown color, cap style and tassel positioning—ensures your commencement experience aligns with the University of Mary’s standards and honours your achievement in a visually unified and professional manner.
