Salem College Commencement & Academic Regalia Summary

Salem College holds its annual commencement ceremony each spring. The 2025 Commencement is scheduled for May 10 at 10:00 am in the historic May Dell. Participation requires prior registration; graduates may request up to eight guest tickets. Academic regalia is mandatory for walking in the ceremony.

Undergraduates are instructed to wear their tassel on the right and then move it during the ceremony to signify graduation. Graduate (master’s or beyond) tassels are worn on the left and are not moved.

However — after reviewing Salem College’s public commencement page, and available online resources — there is **no publicly accessible handbook, PDF or web page** that defines a formal, published color‑coded scheme for graduation gown color, cap color, tassel color by discipline or degree level, honor cord colors, stoles, or hoods. Salem College’s web site does not present a regalia code specifying colors for academic disciplines, degree levels or honors. A search of “tassel color,” “regalia,” and “hood” yields no official chart or policy.

Because of this, the only confirmed regalia requirement is that participants must wear “academic regalia” (cap, gown, tassel) to walk in commencement. There is no official publicly‑documented color‑coded regalia system for honor cords, stoles or discipline‑based hoods associated with Salem College. Consequently, any external product listing claiming “official Salem College tassel colors,” or “Salem College honor cords/stoles by degree/major,” would be speculative and unverified.

In summary: Salem College offers a traditional commencement ceremony that mandates academic regalia for graduates: cap, gown, and tassel. While the school defines when and how tassels are worn or moved, it does not publicly provide a prescribed color‑coded scheme for tassels, cords/stoles or hoods tied to degrees, honors or academic discipline. For regalia suppliers, that means only a generic cap, gown, and tassel set can be credibly described as “Salem College–compatible.”
