Do regalia colors differ by degree?
UMGC celebrates your achievements with regalia that reflect your academic journey.
- Associate degree recipients wear gray regalia with a black tassel.
- Bachelor's and master's degree recipients wear black gowns and caps with a black tassel.
- Master's degree candidates also wear hoods lined with UMGC school colors and edged in velvet, matching their academic discipline.
At UMGC, all tassels follow a traditional design without year charms, creating a uniform look that celebrates every graduate together.
Grad packs will be mailed to you, including a souvenir tassel with your graduation year. Additional souvenir tassels (in official school colors) and keychains can also be purchased when you order your regalia online.
