Honor Societies
Membership in an honor society is independent from KSU graduation honor policy.
Students who qualified for membership in registered Student Organization Honor Societies/Department Discipline Honor Programs while attending KSU may wear approved regalia representing these societies during the Commencement ceremonies. The only types of regalia items that may be approved are Honor cords, stoles or pins.
Students must contact the appropriate academic department or sponsoring student organization for more information on obtaining these items. The KSU Bookstore is not responsible for ordering honors commencement regalia. Students who are members of multiple honor societies may wear multiple pieces of regalia.
International stoles received by graduating students who earned a previous degree from their home country may be worn during commencement.
