The University of the Pacific commencement ceremony showcases graduates in traditional academic regalia, including a graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard), tassel, honor cord, and optional stole. Bachelor’s and master’s candidates typically wear black gowns, while doctoral gowns feature bell-shaped sleeves and velvet facings to denote the highest academic achievement.

The graduation cap is the classic mortarboard, worn flat on the head. Tassels are worn on the right side before degree conferral and moved to the left after the degree is officially awarded. Black tassels are standard for bachelor’s and master’s candidates, while doctoral candidates wear gold tassels. Honor cords and stoles may be worn to signify academic honors or society memberships, though the university does not publicly provide specific color codes.

Faculty and doctoral-level participants wear full academic regalia appropriate to their degree and discipline, including gowns with distinct sleeves and hoods lined with the University of the Pacific colors. Selecting a complete cap, gown, and tassels set ensures a coordinated, polished, and professional appearance during the ceremony. Including optional honor cords or stoles completes the academic regalia set and highlights academic distinctions.

Wearing proper academic regalia maintains the dignity and tradition of the University of the Pacific commencement, providing a unified, professional visual presentation for all graduates, faculty, and participants. This ensures that every graduate is celebrated appropriately while adhering to the formal standards of the institution.
