At Wichita State University, the commencement ceremony follows established guidelines for academic regalia: all participating graduates must wear a cap and gown.
Undergraduate (Bachelor) candidates wear the standard black bachelor’s gown and mortarboard graduation cap paired with a major‑colour tassel determined by the student’s discipline.Master’s degree candidates wear the master’s gown, mortarboard cap, a hood in the colour of their major, and the major‐colour tassel.
Specialist and Doctoral candidates follow similarly: the specialist level uses the master’s gown with a specialist hood, and doctoral candidates wear the doctoral gown, mortarboard cap or tam, doctoral hood in their colour and the “Dr Old Gold” tassel combined with the major colour.
The academic gown colour for almost all degrees is black, providing a unified look, while tassel, hood and trim colours reflect major/discipline.
Honor cords and stoles are permitted but optional; graduates may wear up to three adornments (cords, stoles) representing academic achievement or membership in an organisation.
Faculty regalia follows the doctoral‑gown standard, with custom hoods and colours appropriate to rank and discipline. Ordering deadlines are emphasised: students are urged to purchase their cap, gown and tassel early (mid‑semester recommended) to ensure proper fit, size and colour availability. This ensures participation in the commencement ceremony under the university’s academic regalia policy.
