University of Nevada Las Vegas

The UNLV commencement ceremony is held at the Thomas & Mack Center and begins with graduates lining up in the Cox Pavilion about one hour prior to the start time. Undergraduates and graduate candidates process into the arena by college or program, with doctoral candidates entering first, followed by master’s / specialist candidates, then certificate candidates.

For academic regalia, a correct graduation cap and graduation gown are required. The UNLV Bookstore offers purchase options and students must wear the mortarboard cap (for master’s) or tam (for doctoral) when appropriate. The tassel for undergraduate and master’s students is Scarlet & Gray, worn on the right side then moved to the left when directed during the ceremony. Doctoral candidates wear a solid Gray tassel.

In terms of faculty regalia and hoods, master’s, specialist, and artist-diploma candidates wear hoods; doctoral candidates carry their hoods over the left arm. The hood colors vary by school and discipline (for example, Hospitality uses navy blue for master’s; Sciences use science gold; Education uses light blue) and the gown type may differ (doctoral scarlet/gray) according to the Hood and Gown Color List.

Graduation gown sets and tassels sets for UNLV must align with these guidelines: proper cap (mortarboard or tam), gown (appropriate level black or doctoral gown), tassel in the correct color, and hood or regalia adornments if required by the level or discipline. In practical terms: for undergraduates wear the standard gown and Scarlet & Gray tassel; for master’s wear the black gown with the correct hood color; for doctoral wear the doctoral gown with scarlet/gray gown type and solid gray tassel as specified.

This clear structure ensures graduates present the proper academic regalia at the ceremony and that the academic achievement is formally recognized in the university ceremony context. For anyone shopping for graduation cap, gown and tassels sets, this information ensures you match the UNLV requirements and maintain consistent ceremonial standards.
