Coastal Carolina University

Coastal Carolina University (CCU) conducts formal commencement ceremonies each May and December to credential graduates across colleges, with detailed schedules and printed/digital programs available for each ceremony. Graduates must wear full academic regalia—mortarboard (graduation cap), gown, and tassel—and orders are handled through CCU’s official vendor (Oak Hall) or the campus Bookstore. The university enforces a strict policy that only college-issued or college-approved regalia and adornments may be worn during the procession.

The standard graduation gown color and mortarboard remain black, consistent with traditional academic dress; tassel color is degree- and field-sensitive: CCU notes that tassels are usually black but may use a color that denotes a graduate’s major or field for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, while gold tassels are reserved for doctoral graduates. Advanced degree recipients and faculty who wear hoods will display velvet border colors that represent their academic discipline (e.g., light blue for Education, golden yellow for Science, apricot for Nursing — see the CCU commencement program for full discipline mapping).

Academic honors and adornments are governed by an explicit policy. CCU’s Commencement/Honor Stoles, Cords, and Medallions policy and the Academic Honor Stole criteria require a minimum GPA and course thresholds (e.g., eligibility for a white academic honor stole for Latin honors at specified GPA levels, and approved stoles for Honors Program, Wall Fellows, and other groups). Phi Theta Kappa and other recognized student groups may wear approved stoles/cords following university rules. Vendors should advise buyers to confirm honor cord and stole colors with the Registrar or Commencement Office to ensure compliance with CCU policy.
