College for Creative Studies

The College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit organizes a formal commencement ceremony each spring, as outlined in its academic catalog. Graduates who have submitted their application, met degree requirements, and cleared any holds are invited to participate. For December graduates, CCS also maintains a “Winter Commencement” option per its online graduation portal.

Regalia for CCS commencement — including the graduation gown, cap, and tassel — must be ordered through OakHall’s Cap & Gown portal. CCS has partnered with GreenWeaver® to provide eco-friendly academic regalia made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

However, specific colors for tassels, honor cords, and stoles (academic regalia) are not publicly listed on CCS’s website or in its catalog. Neither cords nor stoles color schemes by discipline or honors appear in its student handbook or faculty guide, and no detailed color chart is provided in the 2025–2026 catalog. Moreover, the faculty handbook (PDF) does not include regalia‑color instructions.

In summary, CCS maintains a traditional academic regalia system (cap, gown, tassel), requiring all graduates to purchase their own regalia and order in advance. The college emphasizes sustainability through its GreenWeaver recycled line, but it does not publish detailed information about color coding for tassels, stoles, or honor cords on its public platforms. As such, prospective buyers and graduating students should verify tassel or accessory colors either via the OakHall ordering portal or by contacting CCS Student Affairs for discipline-specific or honors‑based regalia.
