Academic Regalia

Academic Regalia (General)

Gown colors

  • Most students wear dark green gowns.
  • PTEC students wear grey gowns.
  • Nursing students wear white gowns.
  • Respiratory Therapy students wear blue gowns.

Students are required to wear academic regalia to participate in the ceremony.

The NVC Bookstore is now selling regalia and other graduation items such as announcements and stoles.  The cost of the regalia is $56.98 plus tax.  The bookstore will only carry the Dark Green regalia in-store.  Students may purchase their regalia at the bookstore during store hours, or on the vendor's website (link & QR code below).  Last day to order from the vendor's website is April 16, 2023, to guarantee delivery before the Commencement date.  After that date, regalia is only available to purchase at the bookstore.

We encourage graduates to get their regalia early and not wait 'til the last minute.
