University of the West Commencement Ceremony & Academic Regalia

At University of the West, the formal commencement ceremony is held annually—typically on the last Saturday of the spring term—to celebrate graduates who have completed their bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degrees. Participants are required to wear full academic dress—consisting of a graduation cap, a graduation gown and coordinating tassel set—and follow the institution’s academic regalia policy.

The graduation gown colour is not explicitly broken down by degree level on the publicly available pages, and the standard mortarboard graduation cap is worn square and level. The tassel is to be draped on the left side of the cap during the ceremony, in accordance with UWest’s regalia instructions.Honor cords, stoles and hoods are permitted for eligible students—such as members of recognized honour societies or those awarded special distinctions—and must adhere to the university’s vendor‑approved design and colour guidelines.

Faculty and platform participants wear academic regalia corresponding to their highest earned degree, including appropriately styled gowns, hoods and caps. The overall academic regalia at UWest emphasises consistency: correct graduation gown colour, graduation cap style, proper tassel placement, and approved honour cords or stoles for distinctions. This ensures a dignified and unified ceremony and aligns with the institution’s visual traditions of academic dress. The cap, gown and tassels set serves as the visible symbol of achievement and academic transition.
