University of Texas at San Antonio Commencement & Academic Regalia

At UTSA, commencement is a formal celebration where graduates from bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes wear full academic dress. Each student wears a designated graduation gown, a graduation cap (typically a mortarboard for undergraduates and master’s, a tam for doctoral), and coordinated accessories in alignment with the institution’s academic regalia guidelines.

UTSA gowns and mortarboards are navy blue, reflecting one of the university’s official colours. For bachelor’s degree candidates, the tassel is a tricolour of orange, blue and white, representing the university. For graduate degrees, the tassel colour indicates the discipline in which the degree is earned—e.g., orange for engineering, light blue for education, golden yellow for science/mathematics—and doctoral recipients wear a gold bullion tassel. Honour cords and stoles are authorised: gold cords denote Latin honours for undergraduates; other cords or stoles represent student‑athletes, veteran status, first‑generation college, or membership in the Honors College.

The full ensemble—correct coloured gown, properly worn cap, approving tassel, and any authorised cords or stoles—forms the complete “cap, gown and tassels sets” for the ceremony. UTSA emphasises that master’s hoods are short, doctoral hoods longer and lined with orange and white chevron (the university colours) while doctoral gowns feature velvet panels with three stripes and the UTSA seal. Faculty and platform participants wear academic regalia corresponding to their highest earned degree: gown, hood and cap styled according to discipline tradition. In summary, UTSA’s commencement attire policy underscores the importance of the correct graduation gown colour, cap style, discipline‑appropriate tassel and approved honour cords or stoles for a unified, dignified presentation of academic achievement.
