University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill holds a major commencement ceremony in Kenan Stadium where hundreds of graduates wear official academic regalia — including the graduation cap, graduation gown and tassel set. According to the university’s “Regalia has a rich history” page, undergraduates wear a distinctive Carolina Blue graduation gown, paired with a mortarboard cap.

For graduate students, the standard graduation gown is black, with longer sleeves and the addition of a hood lined in the official university colours—Carolina Blue and white—and trimmed in the velvet hue corresponding to the field of study (for example, green for medicine, purple for law). The graduation cap for masters remains the mortarboard; doctoral candidates often wear a velvet tam, and their gowns include velvet panels and sleeve chevrons.

Tassels, honor cords and stoles at UNC Chapel Hill reflect discipline and achievement: color of the tassel corresponds to the field of study based on the Inter-collegiate Academic Costume Code (e.g., golden yellow for science, light blue for education). Honor cords and stoles may be worn by graduating students approved by the Office of the Chancellor or Special Events, especially for recognized student organizations or cultural groups.

Faculty regalia also follows tradition: faculty wear gowns, hoods and caps based on the highest degree earned, with colours of their conferring institution and field displayed inside the hood and via velvet trim or facings.

In summary: when purchasing or preparing a cap, gown and tassels set for UNC Chapel Hill’s commencement, ensure your graduation gown colour is appropriate (Carolina Blue for undergraduates, black for graduate/doctoral levels), your graduation cap is included, the tassel reflects your discipline, and any honor cord or stole has university approval. The academic regalia set completes the formal presentation of your achievement in line with UNC Chapel Hill’s rich commencement traditions.
