Central Wyoming College (CWC) holds its commencement ceremony annually, typically in May, with two division-specific events: one for Business, Technology, Liberal Arts & Agriculture in the afternoon, and another for STEM, Health & Education in the evening. The 2025 ceremonies were scheduled for May 16, as announced on the college’s graduation page. Graduates must apply for graduation through their MyCentral portal, and a completed degree audit signed by an academic dean is required.

According to CWC’s catalog, academic honors are awarded based on GPA for students who have completed at least 30 credits at CWC. However, the publicly available 2024 Commencement Program PDF does not list specific colors for honor cords or stoles. There is no mention of a universal honor cord color (e.g., gold) or a standard stole in the program or on the graduation web pages.

Moreover, there is no detailed publicly accessible rule or color‑chart for academic regalia (gown color, tassel, hood) in CWC’s published documents. The 2024 commencement program lists the order of exercises and highlights formal processional music, but does not describe regalia color‑coding. Likewise, CWC’s “Graduation Honors” page outlines the GPA thresholds for honors (Honors, High Honors, Highest Honors) but does not tie those to specific honor cord colors.

For faculty, while academic regalia is implied (they attend commencement), CWC does not publish a public, detailed guide to faculty gown color, velvet, or hood trim. The absence of a publicly documented regalia color scheme suggests that CWC likely relies on general academic dress tradition rather than a highly customized, institution‑specific system.

In short, CWC’s commencement experience emphasizes formal academic tradition—ceremonies by division, GPA‑based honors, and standard graduation practices—but does not publicly define specific colors for tassels, honor cords, or stoles in its publicly available handbooks or commencement programs.
