Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut holds its annual commencement ceremony each spring, in full academic regalia. The 2025 ceremony, for example, was held on Sunday, May 18 at 11:00 a.m. and marked the “Legacy Class” as the College’s first century of graduates ends.
At the ceremony, degree candidates wear the institution-approved graduation gown, paired with the appropriate graduation cap (mortarboard) and the official cap and gown tassel marking the year of graduation. Faculty, honored guests and degree-recipients also appear in full academic regalia, including gowns, hoods and caps reflecting their credentials and rank. The selection of the correct graduation gown color and coordinating cap & tassel sets is a key part of the visual tradition and formality of the event. The program includes a ceremonial processional down Prospect Street, arrival at the iconic Rosary Hall, conferral of undergraduate and graduate degrees, awarding of honorary degrees to distinguished individuals, and a formal recessional—all participants outfitted in full academic regalia.
The emphasis on the correct academic dress—gown, cap, tassel and related accessories—reinforces both the individual achievement of each graduate and their membership in the scholarly community of the College. Ensuring each student and faculty member is equipped with the proper cap, gown, tassel and regalia underscores the dignity and tradition of the ceremony.
