The Widener University Delaware Law School commencement ceremony takes place annually in May on its Delaware campus, with the full regalia tradition of academic dress. Graduates wear the classic mortarboard graduation cap and gown — bachelor’s and master’s gowns with no sleeve trimmings, and doctoral gowns with velvet facings and three bars across the sleeves.
Tassels begin on the right side of the cap before degrees are conferred, then move to the left once the conferral occurs.For discipline‑specific academic regalia, the hood lining reflects Widener University’s school colours (blue & gold) and the velvet binding matches the colour associated with the subject area — for law this is purple.
Stoles, honor cords and tassel colours are aligned with those standard academic codes which apply: the law degree uses purple for the field, while the university’s official imprint is blue/gold. Faculty regalia likewise conforms to the standard academic costume: doctoral gowns may use velvet trim in the discipline colour, mortarboards or tams may be worn, and gold tassels often signify doctoral status.
In sum, graduates, faculty and honored candidates at Delaware Law School participate in a commencement festooned with the traditional academic regalia pieces — graduation cap, gown, tassel, honor cord and stole — each element designed to reflect their degree level, discipline (law) and the university’s colours of blue and gold.
