Whitman College’s commencement ceremony is anchored in formal academic regalia requirements. As noted in the registrar’s senior handbook, all seniors participating must obtain their cap, gown and tassel to participate in commencement. For the undergraduate level, the college provides free‑to‑use recycled gowns in limited supply or allows purchase of a new cap, gown and tassel set. The graduation gown colour is standard for bachelor, master and doctoral level candidates, following traditional academic dress guidelines. The graduation cap (mortarboard) is required, and the tassel is a key component in the cap & gown and tassel set. Honor cords and stoles are offered through affiliated programs: for example, Whitman’s Intercultural Excellence stole ceremony allows students to select stoles reflecting identity or culture. The college’s regalia policy places emphasis on the uniform set of academic regalia (cap, gown and tassel) being in place, though it does not publicly provide a detailed discipline‑specific colour chart for tassels or stoles tied to each major. Its webpage on academic regalia explains that differing gown styles (bachelor, master, doctoral) and hoods reflect academic achievement and discipline colour but the institution’s dress colour for the gown remains consistent. Faculty regalia and advanced degree participants follow the standard doctoral robe or relevant dress code as per the Intercollegiate Code. The uniform look of the graduation gown colour, the graduation cap, and the full academic regalia set ensures clarity, dignity and tradition at the ceremony. Prospective graduates are advised to order the correct cap, gown and tassel set early and verify the size, delivery and regalia guidelines to be ceremony‑ready.
