Sullivan University

Sullivan University holds formal commencement ceremonies for its associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree graduates. According to the student handbook, only approved academic regalia is allowed — meaning stoles, cords, and other adornments must be pre-approved by university administration before being worn during the ceremony. (Student handbook policy)

The standard graduation gown offered at Sullivan University is a traditional academic robe, typically in black to maintain a unified, professional appearance during graduation. Graduates pair the gown with a classic mortarboard cap, and a tassel is included with the regalia set. While Sullivan does not publicly publish a detailed tassel-color policy, many regalia vendors list a gold or metallic tassel option that aligns with common academic traditions.

For graduates eligible for academic distinction, Sullivan University allows the use of honor cords. However, these cords are not automatically provided: they must come from honor societies or student organizations, and only officially recognized cords that have been approved by the university may be worn on graduation day. The colors of these cords vary depending on the society or program, and there is no publicly disclosed, uniform color chart for all honor cords.

Similarly, stoles are permitted during commencement only if they represent officially recognized organizations and have received prior approval from Sullivan’s administration. Because there is no college-wide stole color policy, the color and design depend on the department or honor society, providing flexibility for individual recognition while preserving a cohesive academic appearance.

Faculty participating in the ceremony wear academic regalia based on their highest earned degree institution. Sullivan University does not mandate a specific hoodie or robe color for its faculty, so many faculty members choose academic robes and hoods that reflect their alma maters rather than Sullivan-specific colors.

In summary, Sullivan University’s commencement regalia policy emphasizes a classic black gown and cap, a tassel likely in gold or neutral tone, and optional honor cords or stoles from officially recognized organizations. Because cord and stole colors are not standardized by Sullivan, students must confirm the correct colors with their honor society or department before ordering.
