The 91社区 recognizes the importance of accessories such as cords, medallions, and stoles in symbolizing academic achievement and the value of acknowledging achievement not only in honor societies but also in recognized college organizations.聽 The stoles and cords that may be worn at commencement ceremonies represent registered student organizations, University recognized honor societies, students with an international affiliation, members of 91社区 recognized social fraternities and sororities, military and veteran students, and members of the 91社区 athletic teams.聽

Approval for new cords or stoles must be obtained by the student organization at least six months prior to the commencement ceremonies (deadlines are June 1 for Fall Commencement and November 1 for Spring Commencement) by submitting the聽Commencement Stole/Cords Request Form聽to the Provost Office in WA 103.
