Virginia Peninsula Community College

Virginia Peninsula Community College hosts a formal commencement ceremony each May, open to students who graduated the previous Summer or Fall or who complete requirements in Spring.Participation in the commencement ceremony requires proper academic regalia: each eligible graduate must wear a cap, gown and the program‑designated tassel. According to VPCC’s commencement guidelines, “Regalia includes a cap, gown, and program tassel.” The graduation gown at VPCC is the foundational piece of the attire; while the colour isn't explicitly specified in the publicly available summary, the emphasis is on standardisation and compliance.

VPCC differentiates tassel colours by program and academic division: white is specified for Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) programs, blue for Associate of Science (AS), gold for Associate of Applied Science (AAS), and green for Certificates & Career Studies Certificates (Cert. & CSC). This colour‑coding allows graduates to display their credential type through the tassel. For academic honours, VPCC uses Latin‑honours cords: cum laude (GPA 3.2‑3.4) wear green cords, magna laude (3.5‑3.7) wear silver cords, and summa laude (3.8‑4.0) wear gold cords.

Additional stoles and cords for honour societies, veteran status, TRiO programmes etc., are permitted only if issued by authorised campus offices. The guidelines specify that “Unapproved, non‑VPCC department issued stoles and cords are not permitted in the ceremony.” Faculty regalia is guided by standard conventions for faculty academic dress—doctoral gowns with velvet panels, faculty hoods or stoles representing discipline, though detailed colour charts by discipline are not publicly listed. In sum, VPCC’s commencement ceremony and academic regalia policy ensures a unified look: the graduation gown serves as the base, the graduation cap completes the ensemble, tassel sets indicate program colour, and honour cords/stoles signify achievement or affiliation.
