Western Connecticut State University Commencement & Academic Regalia

Western Connecticut State University’s commencement ceremony celebrates graduates’ academic achievements with a formal procession and recognition of degree conferral. All participants must wear full academic attire, including the graduation cap, graduation gown, hood (when applicable), and tassel set. The standard gown color is black for associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, with differentiation in gown style reflecting degree level.

Bachelor’s candidates receive a complete set including cap, gown, hood, and tassel. Master’s and doctoral candidates follow similar protocols, with doctoral attire often featuring a tam and enhanced gown design. Honor cords and stoles are available for students meeting academic distinctions or belonging to approved organizations, while stoles of gratitude can also be requested.

Faculty and university officials wear full academic regalia consistent with their highest earned degree, including hoods and caps that reflect their discipline and credential level. Only graduates wearing the complete cap, gown, tassel, and any authorized honor cords or stoles may participate in the ceremony, ensuring a professional and cohesive appearance throughout the event.

These guidelines support key search terms such as graduation gown, graduation gown color, graduation cap, academic regalia, and cap & gown tassel sets, helping students and vendors preparing for WCSU commencement locate and order the correct regalia in advance.
