Please note:
Graduates with a 4.0 overall Grade Point Average are distinguished by an asterisk (*) next to their name.
Participation in the commencement ceremony does not imply or guarantee completion of degree, diploma, or certificate.
ACADEMIC REGALIA
The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were
taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cleric.
With few exceptions, the medieval scholar had taken at least minor orders, made certain vows,
and perhaps been tonsured. Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in
unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that
purpose by the skull cap.
In 1895, the representatives of leading higher education institutions, meeting as the Intercollegiate
Commission, defined a system of academic apparel designed to distinguish the different degrees
involving the gown, cap, and hood.
Graduates wearing gold honor cords have a 4.0 overall Grade Point Average.
Graduates wearing red, white & blue cords are being recognized for their service in the United States military.
Graduates with purple & white honor cords are members of the National Technical Honor Society.
THE MACE
The mace, which dates back to medieval times when it was used as a weapon, has become a symbol
of authority. Traditionally, colleges or universities design their mace to symbolize a theme or message
that is central to their mission. The mace is carried in all formal academic processions in which the
institution's president participates.
Designed by Patrick Taylor of Pinecrest Studios in Highlands, N.C., the mace and stand are made of
red cherry wood. The seal of Chattahoochee Technical College adorns the side of the mace and front
of the stand. The logo of Chattahoochee Technical College adorns the front and back of the mace. The
bronze flame atop the mace represents the flame of knowledge.
