The University of Wisconsin–Green Bay commencement ceremony is held twice annually (spring/summer and fall/winter) at the Green Bay campus, with associated proceedings for its Marinette campus graduates. Tickets are not required; each graduate may invite up to seven guests and should arrive at least an hour early. The program includes the traditional academic procession of faculty and graduates, conferral of degrees, presentation of diplomas, and photo opportunities at the stage and in the foyer. Free parking is offered and the venue is fully accessible with captioning and ushers for guests with physical limitations.
For academic regalia—the graduation cap, gown and tassels sets—the approved policy states that graduates should wear the standard gown and mortarboard (or tam where applicable), with gown colors and tassel colors aligned with degree‑level and academic discipline. Honor cords, stoles or medallions may also be worn, but only one item of non‑standard regalia (cord, stole, medallion or pin) per student is permitted. Academic honor cords are awarded typically for baccalaureate students meeting GPA thresholds: cum laude (3.50–3.749), magna cum laude (3.75–3.849), summa cum laude (3.85+ or special honors major) for the spring/summer ceremony; associate degree «With Honors» is a GPA of 3.5000+.
The approved regalia list includes the university’s green & white cords for general academic honors, burgundy & gold cords for the Alpha Sigma Lambda honor society, and other defined cord or stole combinations depending on honor societies and student involvement groups. Faculty regalia adhere to tradition: doctoral gowns with velvet trim, master’s gowns with appropriate sleeves, and bachelor’s gowns closed or open as permitted. Overall, the ceremony and regalia reinforce the milestone of achievement by aligning the graduation cap, gown and tassels sets with institutional tradition and individual academic honors.
