The commencement ceremonies at University of Southern Indiana offer a distinguished closure to each academic journey, where graduates don full academic dress—graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard), and tassel sets—accompanied by approved honor cords and stoles. According to USI’s official “Regalia, Stoles and Cords Policy,” formal academic regalia consisting of black gowns and mortarboards is required for all degree candidates participating in the ceremony.

Graduation gown colour at USI is typically the classic black for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral candidates. The bachelor’s gown features long open sleeves, the master’s gown has slitted closed sleeves, and the doctoral gown includes full bell‑shaped sleeves trimmed with velvet. The graduation cap is worn squarely, with the tassel initially placed on the right side until the degree is formally conferred, at which point graduates move the tassel to the left in recognition of their achievement. Faculty, platform guests and academic staff march in full faculty regalia—robes, hoods and caps—reflecting their academic rank and discipline and contributing to the ceremonial atmosphere of academic tradition.

Honour cords and stoles play an integral role in recognizing academic distinctions and organisational involvement at USI. Bachelor’s candidates graduating with commencement honours receive specified coloured stoles and tassels: gold for Summa Cum Laude, red for Magna Cum Laude, blue for Cum Laude. White cords are reserved for the University Honors Program while red/white/blue mixed cords signify active or veteran military students. Student organisations must apply for approval of stoles or cords and may wear one authorised stole or cord alongside university‑issued honours adornments.

In summary, USI’s commencement ceremony emphasizes the core elements of academic regalia—the graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel sets—and the accompanying honour cords and stoles that mark individual achievement. Graduates are encouraged to order their cap and gown sets via the Campus Store and adhere strictly to the regalia policy to ensure a cohesive and dignified look across all degree levels.
