University of Washington Tacoma Commencement & Academic Regalia

The University of Washington Tacoma commencement ceremony brings together bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral graduates in a formal procession wearing full academic dress. Graduates must wear a proper graduation gown and graduation cap (mortarboard or tam) as part of the official academic regalia requirements.

At UWT the standard gown is black for bachelor’s and master’s graduates, while doctoral candidates rental‑only gowns include a doctoral tam and hood. The standard kit for bachelor’s and master’s includes the gown, cap, and one degree‑coloured tassel. The tassel colour varies by school and discipline: for example, light blue for Education, white for Arts & Sciences, orange for Engineering, etc.

In addition to the cap, gown and tassels sets, UWT permits approved honour cords and stoles for eligible students. The university maintains a list of approved stoles (by student organisation or honour society) that may be worn during the ceremony. Candidates must purchase their regalia package (cap, gown and tassel) and order additional items (hoods for masters/doctoral, stoles, cords) through approved vendors.

Faculty and platform participants wear academic regalia corresponding to their highest earned degree. The combination of correct gown colour, graduation cap style, proper tassel placement, and approved cords or stoles ensures the ceremony has visual integrity. In summary: UWT’s commencement emphasizes the full academic regalia package—cap, gown and tassels sets—alongside mentor and faculty regalia, honour cords and stoles, to recognize achievement and tradition in a unified, dignified setting.
