College & University Graduation Honor Cords

Cap and Gown Outlet supplies college and university graduation honor cords for graduates, colleges, universities, academic departments, honor programs, student organizations and educational organizations across the United States. This collection includes single-color, double-color, three-color, rainbow and multiple-cord options for commencement ceremonies, academic recognition programs and individual or institutional graduation orders.

Single, Double & Three-Color Graduation Honor Cords

Graduates and organizations can choose graduation honor cords in different color combinations based on their ceremony or recognition requirements. Current options include single-color cords, intertwined double-color and three-color cords, rainbow intertwined cords and sets containing two honor cords. Compare the available configurations carefully when coordinating cords with graduation gowns, stoles, tassels and other commencement attire.

Choosing the Right Honor Cord Colors

Honor cord colors may be used by colleges, universities, honor programs and student organizations to identify academic recognition, membership, service, leadership or other institution-approved distinctions. However, honor cord colors do not have one universal meaning across every school or organization. A color used for one purpose at one institution may have a different meaning elsewhere. Before ordering, verify the required cord color, number of cords and permitted recognition accessories with your college, university, program or organization.

Honor Cords, Graduation Stoles & Academic Regalia

Honor cords are typically worn over a graduation gown and may be used alongside other approved commencement accessories. Graduates who need another type of recognition accessory can also explore our Graduation Stoles and Sashes. When wearing multiple cords, stoles or other accessories, follow your institution’s current commencement guidelines rather than assuming every combination is permitted.

Individual & Bulk Graduation Honor Cord Orders

Individual graduates can purchase honor cords for approved commencement and recognition needs, while colleges, universities, academic departments, honor programs, student organizations and commencement coordinators can order larger quantities across different colors and configurations. For group orders, confirm the required colors, cord combinations, quantities and intended recognition categories before purchasing.

Use our Graduation Color Chart as a general color reference when comparing available options. Cap and Gown Outlet is an independent graduation regalia supplier and does not imply that a particular honor cord, color or combination is approved, required or officially affiliated with a college, university, honor society or other organization unless specifically stated.
