Special cords and medallions are granted to students who have achieved academic success. Honors program cords and Latin Honor medallions will be distributed in person on ceremony days. (Cords and medallions will be mailed in June to students who do not attend their respective ceremonies.)
In recognition of these achievements, students are given the option to wear distinctive regalia at Commencement, as listed below:
- Alpha Phi Sigma — Royal blue and gold cord
- Co-Curricular Excellence — Multi colors contingent upon the department
- Delta Mu Delta — Purple and gold cord with pin
- Honors Program — Gold cord
- Psi Chi — Silver and navy cord
Co-Curricular Excellence Regalia
Upcoming graduates who have demonstrated leadership qualities and fulfilled organizational commitments in one the following co-curricular campus organizations are welcome to apply for approval to purchase a special item of regalia to be worn at Commencement. This regalia recognizes your commitment and skills outside of the classroom.
An email will be sent out to all graduating seniors in March where graduates interested can apply.
Graduates that meet the organization/department-specific requirements of the following campus organizations are welcome to apply:
- Orientation Coordinators/Leaders
- Club and Organization Executive Officers recognized by the Office of Student Activities and Orientation
- Resident Assistants
- Global Ambassadors
- CCBL Student Ambassadors, Internships or community work-study
- Blue Key Society Ambassador
- Peer Mentors
- Donahue Institute Student Leaders
- National Society for Leadership & Success Inductee
If a graduate is approved, they will be responsible for the cost of the regalia. All students applying must be in good academic and conduct standing at the time of application and remain in good standing through the time of Commencement. Graduates will receive a final decision and additional information on where to pick up their co-curricular excellence regalia in the weeks immediately preceding the Commencement ceremony. Questions can be directed to Amanda Knight, Director of Student Activities and Orientation at adknight@lasell.edu
