UTC Commencement & Academic Regalia

At UTC, the commencement ceremony gathers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral graduates under a unified academic dress code. Each participant wears the official graduation gown, a graduation cap (mortarboard for many levels), and accessories that conform to the university’s academic regalia guidelines. According to the Registrar’s FAQ, the gown must be the navy‑blue model provided through the UTC Bookstore.

Graduates purchase or rent their cap and gown sets via the campus bookstore, ensuring each “cap, gown and tassels set” is complete prior to the ceremony. Polling UTC’s graduation FAQ, the record states: “… you will select your degree & shipment preference … you’ll choose the package/individual items … order your regalia ahead of time.” While UTC’s published materials note navy blue gowns, specific discipline‑based tassel and hood colours are less explicitly detailed in the public FAQ. Honor designs: Undergraduate students with Latin honours receive a **white tassel**.

Eligible graduates may wear approved honor cords or stoles recognising academic distinction or membership in recognised organisations, provided they comply with UTC’s regalia policy. Faculty and platform participants wear regalia reflecting their highest earned degree, including gown, hood and cap styled per tradition. The ceremony’s visual unity is achieved by following the correct graduation gown colour/design (navy blue), the graduation cap placement, discipline‑ or level‑appropriate tassel (or hood), and any authorized cords or stoles. Overall, UTC emphasises a cohesive, consistent look for commencement that honours academic achievement and ensures participants present a dignified appearance.
