  • University of South Carolina Upstate
    University of South Carolina Upstate Commencement Exercises May 2, 2017 Academic Traditions The Processions Our commencement exercises will begin with an academic procession to the platform, a tradition dating to the great medieval universities of England. The audience is asked to rise when the processional begins and remain standing for the invocation. At the close of the ceremony, the audience is asked to stand and join in singing the first verse of the Alma Mater and remain standing in place for the benediction and the recessional. The music for the recessional is another academic tradition,Gaudeamus Igitur (“Let Us Rejoice”). The song originated in the German universities as a celebration of the joy of learning experienced by a university community of faculty, students, staff, alumni, and friends. Caps, Gowns, and Tassels The pageantry of an academic procession includes various customs of academic attire. The cap is traditionally a mortarboard with tassel, the color of which denotes the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. For instance, those earning bachelor of arts degrees wear white, golden yellow for bachelor of science degrees, drab for bachelor of science degrees in business administration, light blue for bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in education, and apricot for bachelor of science degrees in nursing. Hoods The hood represents the institution from which the wearer earned his or her advanced degree and also indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. The length of the hood for the master’s degree is three and a half feet. The length of the hood for the doctoral degree is four feet.
