Color Black in all cases. Length The length of the hood worn for the bachelor's degree must be three feet, for the master's degree three and one-half feet, and for the doctoral degree, four feet.

Additional Guidance on Costume In the light of large numbers of requests for advice about academic dress, the Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies offers the following observations and recommendations for the guidance of colleges and universities in making decisions about regalia for ceremonial occasions.
First It should be noted that it is impossible and probably undesirable to lay down enforceable rules with respect to academic regalia. Second The fundamental guidelines of the academic costume code may be adapted to local conditions. Third In response to a number of questions about gowns and hoods appropriate to the associate degree, the committee's recommendation is that the gown be of the same type as worn by recipients of the bachelor's degree, that the color of the gown be light gray, and that the hood be of the same shape as the one worn by Bachelor of Arts except that it have no velvet border, that the institutional colors be on the lining, and that the outside be black.
Fourth Six-year specialist degrees EdS, etc and other degrees that are intermediate between the master's and the doctor's degree may have hoods specially designed intermediate in length between the master's and doctor's hood, with a four-inch velvet border also intermediate between the widths of the borders of master's and doctor's hoods , and with color distributed in the usual fashion and according to the usual rules.
Cap tassels should be uniformly black. Fifth As a particular courtesy to guests who are expected to wear academic regalia, institutions should provide robes and mortarboards of an appropriate type, even if hoods cannot be supplied.
