Academic Regalia
The bachelor’s degree graduates are wearing a “Wolfpack Red” cap and gown, a tradition that began in 2010.
The master’s and doctoral graduates are wearing the traditional black cap and gown and a colored hood. Of all the components of the academic costume, the hood is most symbolic. The hood’s coloring and size represent the level and subject of degree earned, as well as the institution from which it was awarded. The hood has colors on it in two different places. On one side of the hood there are patches of velvet, and on the other side there are large patches of silk. The silk patches are the colors of the institution that gave the degree. The velvet indicates the area of study.
Faculty typically wear the regalia of the institution from which they earned their highest degree.
The graduates wear a cap or “mortar board” with a tassel. The tassels for the PhD degree are gold, and those for other graduate and professional degrees may correspond to the trimmings on the hoods.
The stoles and cords represent a rich variety of honors and associations in which the graduates have participated during their time at North Carolina State University.
Undergraduate honors are designated by stoles in the following colors:
White * Cum Laude GPA of 3.250 through 3.499Silver ** Magna Cum Laude GPA of 3.500 through 3.749Gold *** Summa Cum Laude GPA of 3.750 and above
Welcome from the Dean
