Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University (FranU) holds its commencement in full academic dress; the Graduation Prep Day helps graduating students order their cap, gown, and tassel in advance. According to FranU’s Registrar information, all graduates must arrive in full regalia (cap, gown, tassel) — extra items will not be supplied on graduation day. The university fee covers cap, gown, tassel, and other regalia elements.

For honor graduates, FranU clearly defines color distinctions: Bachelor degree honor students receive gold tassels; Cum Laude (3.5–3.74 GPA) get gold tassels, Magna Cum Laude (3.75–3.89) get gold/navy cords plus gold tassels, and Summa Cum Laude (3.90 and above) receive gold cords and gold tassels. Associate students also have honor recognition: “Honors” (3.5–3.74) receive gold tassels; “Highest Honors” (3.75+) receive gold tassels plus navy/white cords.

FranU’s tassel color for Associate, Bachelor, and Master students (non‑doctorate) is blue and gold, according to their official graduation materials. Meanwhile, doctoral tassel colors are discipline‑specific, for example: nursing and nurse anesthesia — apricot; arts & sciences — black; health administration — salmon; health professions — green.

Regarding academic hoods, FranU engages in a proper hooding ceremony: master’s and doctoral graduates are hooded on stage; they carry their hood into the procession and then later don it. The Pinning and Awards Ceremony (held before Graduation) is where students are first given their hoods and honor stoles.

Faculty participating in the commencement ceremony wear traditional academic robes, and though FranU does not publicly publish a detailed color breakdown for hood trim by discipline, the hood lining and velvet are matched to graduate degree fields.

In summary, FranU’s commencement features classic cap and gown regalia, with blue and gold tassels for many graduates, gold honor cords, and discipline-based tassel colors for doctoral studies. Because FranU does not publicly list a uniform stole‑color policy, students should confirm honor-stole and cord arrangements with the Registrar or during their Pinning & Awards event.
