Central Maine Community College

Central Maine Community College (CMCC), located in Auburn and Fairfield, Maine, holds its annual commencement ceremony each May to celebrate graduates who have completed their certificate or associate degree programs. The 2025 Commencement is scheduled for May 14 at 6 PM at The Colisée in Lewiston, and the event is streamed live online.

To participate, students must submit a Graduation Confirmation form by the last Friday in March and order their cap and gown (regalia) by the same deadline. According to CMCC’s policy, the cost of cap and gown is covered by the college, making academic regalia accessible for all participating students.

In terms of honor cords, CMCC awards them based on cumulative GPA:
Honors (3.30–3.599) → 1 cord
High Honors (3.600–3.899) → 2 cords
President’s Honors (3.900–4.000) → 2 cords
Regarding decorative accessories, CMCC allows limited extra regalia:
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) students may wear a gold PTK honor stole.
National Society of Leadership & Success (NSLS) members may wear an NSLS honor stole.
CMCC’s regalia policy restricts “extra” items to these officially recognized stoles.

On faculty regalia, CMCC’s publicly available materials do not provide a detailed color‑chart for hoods or gown colors by discipline (unlike some colleges that use velvet trim). The academic catalog mentions only general regalia ordering and does not define tassel‑color or hood‑color standards.

In short, CMCC’s commencement emphasizes a traditional academic regalia system—cap, gown, and cords for honors—and permits only a few sanctioned stoles (PTK, NSLS). But publicly available sources do not offer full color‑coding for tassels, faculty gowns, or stoles by major, so students should check with the Registrar or Commencement Office when ordering.
