At ARCC, the commencement ceremony requires formal academic attire and specific participation steps. According to the college’s “Commencement” page, students who have applied for graduation (for example Fall 2024 or Spring 2025) will be invited to participate in the May ceremony.

One key regulation is that “Graduates are required to wear graduation regalia.”

This means each student must obtain and wear the approved graduation gown, the matching graduation cap (mortarboard), and the correct cap & gown tassel set to walk in the ceremony. The college bookstore lists a black graduation gown for ARCC.

While ARCC publicly provides ceremony check-in guidelines (including guest limits and livestream info) and states that “honor/veteran/TRIO cords if applicable” will be provided, it does not publish a detailed, discipline-by-discipline colour chart for honor cords, stoles or tassel colours on the publicly available pages.

Faculty and academic officials also appear in full academic regalia, including gown, hood (as required for their highest degree), cap, and tassel, maintaining the scholarly tradition of formal attire. The correct graduation gown color (in this case black as supplied by the ARCC Bookstore), a coordinated cap, and the standard tassel set ensure a unified, dignified visual presentation of graduates and faculty alike. By emphasising keywords like “graduation gown,” “graduation gown color,” “graduation cap,” and “academic regalia,” ARCC clearly communicates its attire expectations to students, families and vendors, and supports search-friendly visibility for regalia-related content.
