At Wenatchee Valley College, the commencement ceremony is a key celebration of academic achievement where graduates wear formal academic regalia comprising the graduation gown, graduation cap and tassel. According to WVC’s “Prepare for Graduation” guidelines, students must apply to graduate and then order or rent their cap, gown and tassel sets.
The graduation gown colour is implied to follow the traditional academic convention, with students instructed to rent or purchase the gown and include the tassel automatically. For instance, WVC’s cap & gown page states that rental includes the tassel. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} Graduates must pick up purchased caps and gowns ahead of the ceremony and arrive in full regalia by the designated check‑in time.
During the ceremony, graduates wear the mortarboard style graduation cap and the matching tassel that forms part of the “cap, gown and tassels sets”. Guests, accommodations and logistics such as arrival time are carefully detailed in the WVC ceremony guidelines. While WVC clearly states that students will wear honour cords and veteran cords alongside their cap and gown, the publicly available information does not list a comprehensive set of honour cord colours, stoles or discipline‑specific regalia colours.
Faculty regalia at WVC follows traditional academic regalia standards, with faculty expected to wear gowns and hoods appropriate to their rank. The institution’s published brand colours page lists “Academic Primary” colours like Dark Blue, Blue, Light Blue and “Academic Accents” such as Green, Coral, Orange and Red. However, WVC does not publicly specify that graduation gown colours differ for bachelor, master or doctoral levels in the accessible documents.
In summary, Wenatchee Valley College ensures its commencement ceremony adheres to standard academic regalia norms: graduates arrive in a full cap and gown set including graduation gown (traditionally black), graduation cap, tassel, and optional honour cords or stoles. While detailed colour assignments for stoles and cords are not fully published, the college emphasises student readiness and correct regalia preparation for the ceremony.
