Concordia University Wisconsin

At Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW), commencement is a formal ceremony held each May and December at the R. John Buuck Field House, where graduates wear full academic regalia. According to CUW’s graduation instructions, students must order a cap or doctoral tam, gown, CUW stole, hood (if applicable), and tassel by a stated deadline. The undergraduate stole and master’s hood are standard parts of the regalia packages offered by the university.

CUW’s academic costume program uses hoods for master’s and doctoral graduates, lined with blue and white chevrons to reflect the university’s colors. The velvet trim on the hood indicates the graduate’s field of study: for example, drab for business/accounting, light blue for education, crimson for communications, scarlet for theology, gold for computer science and natural sciences, and citron for social work.

For academic honors, CUW recognizes Latin honors based on GPA: students achieving 3.90+ earn summa cum laude, 3.80+ magna, and 3.60+ cum laude. Corresponding honor cords are: gold for summa, silver for magna, and bronze for cum laude. Additionally, CUW acknowledges honor society members with cords in society‑specific colors — for example, blue & green for Alpha Chi and green & gold for Sigma Beta Delta.

Faculty regalia aligns with student academic dress: faculty hoods also feature blue‑and‑white lining, and the velvet “facing” or trim corresponds to their academic discipline, matching student hood colors.

Overall, Concordia University Wisconsin’s commencement tradition is both dignified and meaningful: graduates wear a classic black gown, discipline‑specific hoods, and honor cords that clearly represent academic achievement and affiliation.
