University of Vermont Commencement & Academic Regalia

The University of Vermont holds its annual commencement ceremony for undergraduate and graduate students at the University Green, with full academic dress required. Graduates must wear a designated graduation gown and a matching graduation cap as part of the institution’s formal academic regalia guidelines.

According to UVM’s “Academic Regalia” information, all degree candidates wear a black mortarboard cap and standard gown style for bachelor’s and master’s levels. Only doctoral candidates may wear velvet caps or special gowns. The hood and gown lining adopt the school’s official colours—UVM’s hood is lined green with a gold chevron. Honor cords and stoles are permitted for eligible students and societies: for example the College of Health & Society lists dark green, royal blue and gold cords in addition to the standard UVM colours for recognition of honours.

The ceremony emphasises the full “cap, gown and tassels sets” for commencement: proper gown style, graduation cap placement, tassel colour conventions, and optional honour cords or stoles for distinction. Whether bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral level, students and faculty wear consistent attire aligned with tradition and institutional identity. The correct graduation gown colour, academic cap, tassel, and optional accessories together reflect the achievement and ceremony‑ready presentation of academic distinction at UVM.
