Williams Baptist University

Williams Baptist University, located in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, celebrates its commencement with a formal ceremony and clearly defined academic regalia standards. The official Graduation webpage notes that the ceremony is held in May (for example Saturday, May 3, 2025) at the SMC venue, with doors opening early for graduates and family.

Graduates are required to wear the traditional graduation cap and gown for the procession, diploma presentation, and recessional. While specific colour codes for tassels, honor cords and stoles are not publicly detailed, the expectation is that the graduation gown is the standard university-approved colour (usually black or a dark tone) and the graduation cap is the classic mortarboard in matching colour. Honor cords and stoles are referenced in university news— e.g., members of the national religious studies honour society were presented with scarlet double cords to wear with regalia.

Family and guests are asked to maintain the ceremonial tone by standing rather than applauding each name and to refrain from noisemakers to allow each graduate’s name to be heard.

Faculty and platform participants also wear full academic regalia consistent with their earned degrees, contributing to the academic formality of the event. For students ordering their cap, gown and tassels sets, it is crucial to confirm the correct graduation gown colour, the correct graduation cap style, appropriate tassel and any honor cord or stole eligibility to ensure alignment with Williams Baptist’s commencement protocols.
