Yakima Valley College

At Yakima Valley College (YVC), the commencement ceremony is a celebrated milestone in which graduates wear full academic regalia—featuring the graduation gown, graduation cap and tassels that symbolize their academic achievement. YVC’s official commencement page states that caps, gowns and tassels are available for purchase through the campus bookstore late in the spring quarter.

YVC’s gown colors reflect degree level: bachelor’s degree candidates wear the standard black gown; associate degree or certificate‑of‑achievement graduates wear a maroon gown. The graduation cap is the traditional mortarboard style, paired with a tassel that coordinates with the regalia order. Honor cords and stoles are permitted when awarded: for instance, honor cords are distributed to students who meet GPA thresholds (Honors: 3.40‑3.84; High Honors: 3.85‑4.0).

The academic regalia policy reinforces that unauthorized cords, medallions or stoles unrelated to recognized student achievement should be avoided to maintain the visual uniformity of the ceremony. YVC’s institutional colours (predominantly red and gold) are referenced in branding materials but the publicly available regalia instructions do not list detailed tassel by discipline or stole‑colour charts.

When shopping for a cap, gown and tassels set for YVC’s ceremony, beware: you should choose a graduation gown (in the correct black or maroon depending on credential), a graduation cap (mortarboard), the correct tassel, and honor cords or stoles if eligible. Using keyword‑rich terms such as “academic regalia bundle”, “graduation gown color”, “graduation cap and gown set”, “cap, gown and tassels sets” will aid search visibility and align your purchase with YVC’s specifications.
