The University of Northern Colorado’s commencement ceremony is a formal recognition of academic achievement held each semester in Greeley, Colorado. Graduates must apply for graduation, arrive early for processing, and wear the designated academic regalia including graduation cap, graduation gown and matching tassel set. Graduation‑ready students line up, proceed in the academic procession and then receive their degrees on stage under the spotlight of the university’s tradition and pageantry.

For academic regalia, UNC partners with Herff Jones to provide caps, gowns, tassels and appropriate regalia accessories. Graduates order or rent their regalia; gowns and hoods must be returned after the ceremony, while caps and stoles remain the student’s to keep. The graduation gown colour is the standard academic black for undergraduate and master’s candidates, with doctoral gown and hood styling available for advanced degree students. Tassels and hoods reflect degree level and discipline, though specific undergraduate tassel colour codes are described for honours (e.g., blue and gold cords for Latin honours) rather than universal discipline‑colour lists.

Honour cords, stoles and other accessories are permitted when awarded by university programmes. For example, undergraduates graduating with Latin honours at UNC wear a blue and gold cord during commencement. Faculty regalia at UNC follows established academic‑dress protocol: faculty may borrow or rent their regalia via their college dean’s office or vendor rental, wearing gowns, hoods and mortarboards or tams that reflect their highest degree earned.

In summary: when purchasing a cap, gown and tassels set for UNC’s commencement, ensure your graduation gown is the standard black (unless you are doctoral and require a hood), your graduation cap (mortarboard or equivalent) is included, and your tassel and any academic accessories correspond to your degree level or honour status. The academic regalia package at UNC supports the milestone nature of graduation and aligns with the institution’s commencement standards.
