University of Mount Union

The University of Mount Union conducts formal commencement ceremonies that emphasize traditional academic regalia and dignified procession. Graduands wear the classic black graduation gown and mortarboard graduation cap for bachelor’s and master’s ceremonies; doctoral graduates typically wear gowns with velvet facings and the distinctive doctoral hood. Graduation gown color remains predominantly black for students, while faculty regalia reflects degree level and institutional colors. The academic regalia policy stresses uniformity—decorations on caps are restricted and tassel sets must conform to ceremony guidelines to preserve a professional commencement appearance.

Honor cords and stoles are used to denote academic achievement and organizational affiliation. Latin honors are represented by cords—gold for magna/summa-level distinctions (institution practices may vary), silver or white for other honors—and institutionally approved stoles may be worn for recognized student organizations, international student representation, and program-specific awards. Tassels sets differ by degree: bachelor’s candidates commonly wear a degree-associated color or black tassel, master’s tassels are typically black, while doctoral tassels can be black or gold depending on tradition and faculty guidance. Hoods and velvet trim follow the standard academic discipline color system (for example, light blue for education, golden yellow for science, orange for engineering) to identify specific degree fields.

Students are required to complete degree requirements and clear university obligations before diplomas are released; participation in the ceremony does not guarantee degree conferral. Overall, Mount Union’s commencement prioritizes the classic elements of academic dress—graduation gown, graduation cap, tassels sets, honor cords and stoles—while aligning faculty regalia and discipline colors with nationally recognized academic costume conventions.
