University of Texas at Tyler Commencement & Academic Regalia

The University of Texas at Tyler holds formal commencement ceremonies each semester where bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral candidates participate in full academic dress. Graduates wear the assigned graduation gown and mortarboard or tam graduation cap and follow the institution’s established academic regalia guidelines.

In a 2018 announcement, UT Tyler introduced a new regalia design, stating the gowns are **blue**—the university’s primary colour—departing from the typical black. This blue gown features orange stripes on undergraduate sleeves and down the master’s gown centre line, symbolizing service and sacrifice. Faculty colours for hoods and tassels align with discipline colours as well. Undergraduate honor cords are awarded for Latin Honors: “Cum Laude”, “Magna Cum Laude”, “Summa Cum Laude” based on GPA and minimum hours. These cords are presented at commencement, as outlined by UT Tyler’s academic guidelines.

Approved stoles and cords may be worn, but must be from a recognised student organisation or department and pre‑approved prior to the ceremony. Unapproved items may be removed at check‑in. The full ensemble for participants—correct coloured gown, cap, approved tassel, and optional honor cords/stoles—is considered the complete “cap, gown and tassels sets” for the ceremony. Faculty and platform participants wear regalia reflecting their highest earned degree, including hood, gown style and cap consistent with tradition. In summary: UT Tyler’s commencement attire emphasises the correct graduation gown colour (blue with orange accent), graduation cap style, discipline or level‑appropriate tassel, and approved cords or stoles to present a unified and dignified display of academic achievement.
