Academic Regalia
Students who plan to march in the Commencement ceremony on May 11 must wear academic regalia.
What is academic regalia?
A Baccalaureate degree student will wear a black gown, mortar-board (black hat), tassel and a colorful hood. Associate Degree students do not wear a hood.
How do I get regalia?
By March 22 you will need to place an order to rent regalia from the Follett Colby-Sawyer Campus Bookstore staff.
Where do I get regalia?
Talk with the staff in the Bookstore during normal business hours. Just stop by to give them your height. This must be done by March 22.
How much will this cost?
You will be charged $50 if you do not return the hood, cap and gown. Keep the tassel as a souvenir.
How do I know what color hood to wear?
Willie Bacote and the bookstore staff will tell you, bookstore@colby-sawyer.edu. The satin colors represent CSC colors blue and white. The velvet edge represents your degree.
