Columbia International University (CIU) maintains a structured yet faith‑oriented approach to its commencement ceremonies. Graduates order academic regalia via Jostens, with a pre‑order window (e.g., September 15–October 17). The regalia package options reflect different degree levels: the Bachelor’s package includes a gown, cap, tassel, and CIU zipper pull; the Master’s package adds a hood; and doctoral graduates may either rent or purchase a full doctoral set with tam, hood, and tassel.

For graduation day, CIU’s policy requires students to check in one hour before the ceremony, wearing their full regalia. Cap decoration is not permitted, but “traditional stoles” are allowed to be worn over the gown. Students pick up their regalia from the CIU Campus Store during a specific pickup window, and payment is due at pickup.

In terms of honor cords and stoles, CIU publicly states that students who qualify for scholastic honors are notified by email in advance; after that, CIU distributes honor cords and honor stoles at check-in on commencement day. Scholastic honors apply only to four‑year undergraduate students who complete at least 48 hours at CIU. However — and importantly — CIU does not publish a detailed color‑chart tied to cord or stole colors for specific honors levels or academic disciplines in its public graduation materials.

For faculty regalia, CIU adheres to standard academic costume conventions: faculty wear gowns and academic hoods in alignment with their highest earned degree. The university does not publicly specify a custom CIU-only color scheme for velvet trim or hood lining, beyond its institutional branding colors (blue & gold).

In summary, CIU’s commencement attire system offers traditional academic regalia (gown, cap, tassel, hood), accessible ordering and pickup, and recognition for academic honors via cords and stoles — but without a heavily codified, discipline‑based color system for regalia.
