At the University of Oklahoma, the commencement ceremony is a formal, university‑wide celebration held each May (and for some summer/fall completers) at the Norman or Tulsa campus. Graduates wear full academic regalia including the mortarboard cap, gown, hood (for graduate degrees), and tassel. The institution emphasises tradition, school identity and academic distinction through the colour and style of the regalia.
The academic regalia at OU follow specific guidelines: for bachelor’s and master’s candidates the gown is typically black with the institution’s standard crimson and cream hood‐lining and accents. The school uses its official colours — crimson and cream — as lining of the hood and for the crimson stole bearing the university seal. Tassels for bachelor candidates are in colours representing your field of study; masters candidates wear a black tassel; doctoral candidates wear a gold bullion tassel (or a discipline‑specific tassel for clinical doctorates). The school also uses a crimson stole embroidered with the OU seal and the words “Live on, University” for all candidates. Honor cords or stoles for departmental honour societies may be layered over the gown though OU’s published handbook does not list a full colour‑key for those accessories.
In summary: if you are shopping for a cap, gown and tassels set for OU’s commencement, ensure your graduation gown is accompanied by the correct hood (for graduate degrees), your graduation cap (mortarboard), the tassel in your discipline or degree‑level colour (field colour for bachelor’s, black for master’s, gold bullion for doctoral), and optionally a crimson stole with school seal for brand cohesion. Faculty regalia and doctoral gowns may include velvet panels in crimson and additional trim. The ensemble reflects both the academic regalia tradition and OU’s institutional branding, making the graduation cap and gown experience both meaningful and visually coherent.
