Community College 2020 Virtual Commencement Thursday, May 21, 2020 6:00 p.m. www.solano.edu Academic Regalia Under ordinary circumstances, graduation ceremonies are held in person. Students and Faculty wear hoods and trimmings in colors that represent the different areas of study and degrees earned. American academic regalia (also referred to as academic “dress”) has its origin in the ancient European universities. Apparently it was devised to distinguish academic persons such as doctors, licentiates, mas- ters, and bachelors from other parts of the population. Gowns probably were a necessity because of un- heated buildings, and hoods were needed to cover the heads of medieval scholars. Most universities is- sued strict regulations concerning the design and use of academic dress. As they were founded, Ameri- can colleges and universities adopted the gown, hood, and cap from their European antecedents. Alt- hough some common standards and practices were observed, no code or system existed until late in the nineteenth century. Gowns Color: Black is traditional. However, in recent years, many colleges and universities have adopt- ed institutional colors for their gowns. Trimmings: None for the bachelor’s or master’s degrees. For the doctor’s degree, the gown is faced down the front with black velvet with three bars of the same across the sleeves; or these facings and crossbars may be of velvet of the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, thus agree- ing in color with the binding or edging of the hood appropriate to the particular doctor’s degree in every instance. Caps Form: Mortarboards are traditionally used. Soft velvet tam-type caps, four-or six-sided with gold thread tassels, are sometimes used for the doctor’s degree. Color: Black is traditional. Tassel: A long tassel is fastened to the middle point of the top of the cap. It is black or the color appropriate to the subject, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold thread. Hoods Color: Black is used in all cases. Length: The length of the hood worn for the bachelor’s degree is three feet, for the master’s degree three and one-half feet, and for the doctor’s degree four feet. Official degree colors: The following is a list of colors established by the Inter Collegiate Code to rep resent the different departments of learning. Academic Regalia, continued Linings: The hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree; more than one color is shown by division of the field color in a variety of ways such as chevron or chevrons, equal division, etc. Trimmings: The binding or edging of the hood is of velvet or velveteen, in widths two inches, three inches, and five inches for the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s degrees respectively; while the col- or is distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. Special Privileges Members of the governing body of a college or university, and they only, whatever their degrees may be, are entitled to wear doctors’ gowns (with black velvet), but their hoods may be only those of degrees actually held by the wearers or those especially prescribed for them by the institutions.
