College and University Graduation Honor Cords

Graduating from a university is an honor and major achievement. In recognition of those who achieve this, the graduation commencement is held to publicly present graduates with their diplomas and awards. Although Academic Regalia differs from college to college, students and faculty taking part in the graduation ceremony are often seen wearing more than the basic Academic Regalia. Therefore, not only does your graduation involve wearing a cap, gown, tassel and other academic accessories, but it also entails traditional pieces such as Stoles and Honor Cords. Gradshop offers Single Honor Cords and Double Honor Cords. Our honor cords come in different colors, with each color having a different significance.

Now that you’re graduating, you must distinguish yourself from everyone else especially if you’re a member of the Honor Society or graduating with honors such as magna cum laude, summa cum laude, or cum laude. Honor cords are one of the prominent graduation accessories seen in most academic ceremonies. Gradshop’s premium honor cords are sturdy twisted cords with a tassel on each end. Honor cords are worn around the neck with the ends of the cords hanging down the front side of the graduate's gown and two tassels on each side. Our high quality honor cords are a must-have if you want to show how hard you have worked to get where you are! Shop online at Gradshop and know that you are ordering outstanding graduation products at affordable prices with great processing and delivery options.

FAQs

Can our honor society or department order college honor cords in bulk?

Yes. Ask us about bulk pricing. Custom colors are available with a minimum of 10 pieces.

Can master's graduates wear honor cords?

Yes, if their school allows it. Some graduate programs and honor societies award cords, while others don't use Latin honors for graduate degrees.

Do college honor cord colors match my major?

Sometimes. Some schools and honor societies use field-of-study colors, such as apricot for nursing, light blue for education and white for arts and letters. Others use their own colors.

How do you get honor cords for college graduation?

You earn honor cords through Latin honors, an honor society, or a club or program. Some schools and organizations hand cords out, while others let graduates buy their own in the approved colors.

Do summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude graduates wear different cords?

Often, yes. Some colleges use a different color for each level, some use the same color for all Latin honors, and some don't use cords for Latin honors at all. Check with your registrar or commencement office.

What GPA do you need for an honor cord?

There's no single standard. Each college sets its own GPA cutoffs or class-rank rules for Latin honors, and honor societies set their own requirements. Your school's catalog will list them.
