ACADEMIC ATTIRE The custom of wearing academic gowns and hoods dates from the twelfth century when a long gown and cowl (similar to the academic hood of today) were worn by clerics and scholars in unheated buildings. Today academic regalia signifies scholastic achievement.

Bachelors’ gowns are made with pointed sleeves; Masters’ gowns are made with long closed sleeves; Doctors’ gowns have velvet panels down the front and velvet bars on round and open sleeves.

The size and shape of the hood distinguishes the degree, a doctoral hood being the largest.

The color used in the velvet border of the hood indicates the field. The colors in the lining of the hood indicate the college or university which confers the degree.

Members of the Board of Trustees wear doctoral gowns during their term of office along with the black mortarboard worn by all participants.

Crown College is proud to recognize its graduating Veterans and military members with a red, white, and blue regalia cord. The cord colors replicate those of our nation’s flag to denote the valor, excellence, and sacrifice these individuals have exemplified in their service to the United States Armed Forces.
