Virginia Wesleyan University

Virginia Wesleyan University staging of its commencement ceremonies features full academic regalia and official commencement protocols that emphasize tradition, achievement and identity. At VWU, graduates wear the classic black graduation gown paired with the graduation cap (usually mortarboard) alongside the appropriate hood or stole for their degree level. The academic regalia page confirms that members of approved honor societies and academic distinctions are permitted to wear honor cords; graduates with Latin honors or certain membership may wear a cord representing their achievement.

Honor medallions are worn by students in certain categories, and the university’s colours (navy blue and silver) appear in the institutional branding though not explicitly in tassel colour charts.Graduates who complete the VWU Honors College or are global‑citizenship ambassadors may wear special stoles or cords in institutional accent colours.

Additionally, accredited honor societies and student organisations are represented by honor cords in specified colours: for example, the Veterans of Armed Services cord is red, white and blue; the Student Government Association cord is cardinal and silver; and nursing honours may wear purple cords, etc.

Faculty regalia follow standard conventions for faculty doctoral dress and colour‑coding by discipline. The overall cap and gown set for each ceremony thus includes the graduation gown, the graduation cap, tassel set appropriate for degree level, hood or stole, and any honor cords or medallions relevant to each graduate. While VWU does not publish a full discipline‑by‑discipline hood colour chart in the public handbook, it clearly adheres to the accepted academic regalia standards: black robes, discipline‑coloured velvet facings, and institution‑coloured hood linings.

In summary, the commencement and academic regalia norms at Virginia Wesleyan University ensure a cohesive look for graduates and faculty: the graduation gown provides the base, the graduation cap completes the silhouette, tassels sets and honor cords/stoles add recognisable achievement markers, and the faculty regalia distinguish instructors and degree‑holders.
