To ensure all families are able to see their graduates, please refrain from bringing large items such as posters, “fat heads,” and balloons to the ceremony as they can block other attendees’ view.
Academic Regalia
Undergraduate Regalia
Undergraduate students wear maroon gowns and maroon mortarboards.
The tassel worn pertains to the academic degree being received.
- Bachelor of Arts: black tassel
- Bachelor of Music: pink tassel
- Bachelor of Science: gold tassel
- Bachelor of Social Work: white tassel
Undergraduate students in regalia wear the tassel on the right side of the mortarboard. During the Commencement ceremony the students change the tassel to the left side, signifying they have earned their degrees.
Undergraduate students may decorate the top of the mortarboard.
Many participants wear international flag patches, which are worn by students, faculty, and staff who have lived, studied, or done research abroad, including international students and faculty. These patches are the only embellishments permitted on the commencement gowns. Graduates may not embroider or otherwise decorate their gowns.
Graduate Regalia
Graduate students wear a black gown, undecorated black mortarboard, black tassel, and a hood.
Hoods, which are given during the Graduate Hooding Ceremony, reflect the color of the academic discipline.
- Business: drab
- Education: light blue
- Nutrition: gold
- Psychology: gold
- Criminal Justice: blue
Graduate students in regalia wear the tassel on the left side of the mortarboard as they have already graduated (earned the undergraduate degree). They do not change the tassel during the Commencement ceremony.
What kind of enhancements can graduating students add to their commencement attire?
The College’s Policy on Cultural Identity Enhancements to Academic Regalia at Meredith College’s Commencement Ceremonies states:
Meredith College’s commencement exercises are a dignified celebration of our graduates’ academic achievement. Caps and gowns, also known as academic regalia, are worn to signify this achievement. To honor cultural heritage and identity, graduates are encouraged to wear adornments such as cultural stoles reflecting their cultural heritage and salient identities, provided they are respectful of others and refrain from making political statements.
To ensure the ceremony is conducted with the appropriate tradition and respect for the event, the College reserves the right to restrict items during graduation if such items may result in a disruption or interference with the graduation ceremony.
These practices will be periodically reviewed and amended as necessary to accommodate changes in graduation traditions, recognition practices, or the College’s guidelines.
Cultural Stole and Cord Policy FAQs
Meredith College’s commencement exercises are a dignified celebration of our graduates’ academic achievement. To ensure the ceremony is conducted with the appropriate respect for the event, the College reserves the right to restrict items during graduation if such items may disrupt or interfere with the graduation ceremony.
In support of diversity and cultural expression, graduates can wear enhancements representing their cultural heritage provided they are respectful of others and refrain from making political statements.
A cultural stole is a piece of regalia graduates may wear to express and honor their cultural heritage. It allows students to proudly display their heritage, ethnicity, and cultural affiliations. Cultural stoles typically feature colors, symbols, or patterns that are significant to the graduate’s cultural background.
Kente: A Kente stole is a woven cloth, originating from Ghanaian tradition, that was historically reserved for royalty but has now become a symbol of pride and accomplishment. It is worn draped over the shoulders like a scarf, similar to traditional graduation stoles. Typically, Kente stoles are worn to signify various achievements, graduations, or significant life events. *Kente Stole History
Sarape Sashes: These sashes are inspired by traditional Mexican sarapes, featuring vivid bands of colors and often adorned with embroidered letters or symbols. Sarape sashes are a symbol of celebration and cultural pride, representing the rich heritage of Mexico and Latinx communities.
LGBTQ+: Serve as a visual representation of the wearer’s identity within the LGBTQ+ community. These stoles commonly showcase the rainbow flag, which has become universally acknowledged as a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride.
*These are examples rather than an exhaustive list.
An example of a political statement that would be discouraged during a commencement ceremony is a graduate wearing an enhancement expressing strong opinions on a controversial political topic or endorsing a specific political ideology, candidate, or political movement. For instance, advocating for a political policy, making partisan remarks, or engaging in explicit political activism during commencement would be considered inappropriate.
During commencement ceremonies, many students, faculty, and staff wear international flag patches to signify that they have lived, studied, or done research abroad. These patches are the only embellishments permitted on the commencement gowns.
Graduates may not embroider or otherwise decorate their gowns. Decorating mortarboards (commonly called caps) is allowed and is a longtime tradition at Meredith.
Members of official academic honor societies can wear approved cords or other visual recognitions of that society. For example, members of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society, can wear a cord and members of the newly formed Meredith chapter of the national Phi Kappa Phi campus-wide academic honor society can wear medallions. Cords for participation in activities or organizations are not approved.

For this week’s #WorldWideWedneday, we travel to Costa Rica to hear from Georgia Meade, ’26, as she shares about her #MeredithCollege Study Abroad experience.
Georgia is a Spanish and Sociology student who studied Language and Culture in Costa Rica. Hear what she has to say ⬇️
“My experience studying abroad in Costa Rica was busy, exciting, and constantly surprising. For me, the most meaningful part was getting to connect with my host family and my peers. I learned that I am capable of navigating a new culture and language. Getting to use my Spanish skills in the real world was challenging but incredibly rewarding!
Other #MeredithCollege students should consider studying abroad to show themselves what they are capable of and what they can learn from getting outside of their comfort zone. Studying abroad strengthened my sense of empathy and cultural humility and has inspired me to work even harder at my goal of becoming fluent in Spanish!”
