ACADEMIC REGALIA

The academic attire worn at Commencement has its origins in the Middle Ages. The purpose of academic regalia is to display the academic and scholarly achievements of the wearer. From the cap, gown and hood it is possible to distinguish the institution from which the wearer graduated, the field of learning in which his or her degree was earned and the level of degree.

Academic hoods are the most distinctive feature of academic attire in the United States. They are the visual representation of scholastic degrees, and their design is authorized by the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume. Hoods are lined with the official color of the college or university conferring the degree, and the velvet detail represents the learning discipline. All Emmanuel College hoods are black with blue lining and the following colors represent each discipline:

BACHELOR OF ARTS

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS

White Gold Brown

MASTER OF SCIENCE

MASTER OF EDUCATION

MASTER OF ARTS

Gold Light Blue White

The honorary hoods are white for Doctor of Humane Letters and purple for Doctor of Laws.

The mortarboard hats and soft caps are black. Prior to receiving the bachelor's degree, the tassel is worn on the right. The graduates ceremonially turn the tassel to the left at the end of Commencement Exercises. Doctoral tassels are gold. Bachelor's degree candidates who are members of academic honor societies wear cords to represent this achievement.

Gowns are normally black, and the level of the degree is indicated by the gown's cut. Colored doctoral gowns represent the school colors of the college or university that awarded the doctoral degree. The blue and gold gowns of the platform party comprised of trustees and honorees represent the Emmanuel College colors. Other dignitaries choose to wear their own institution's robes. The President of Emmanuel College wears her doctoral robes from the University of Michigan, along with the Emmanuel College Presidential Medallion that was presented to her on the occasion of her 20th anniversary as President.

ACADEMIC HONORS

Latin Honors are awarded to full-time bachelor's degree candidates who have achieved high scholastic performance based on grade point averages. The honors are cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude.

Presidential Honors are awarded to part-time professional program students who have achieved high scholastic performance based on grade point averages.

Distinction in the Field of Concentration is awarded to students who receive a specified grade point average in major courses and who successfully complete a significant senior project.
