Graduation honor cords are special accessories worn by graduates to signify academic, leadership, or organizational achievements. If you’ve noticed decorative ropes draped over graduation gowns, those are honor cords for graduation. They are typically worn around the neck, with the tassels hanging evenly on both sides of the gown.

Unlike tassels or stoles, graduates can wear multiple honor cords at once. This makes them a perfect way to recognize multiple honors, affiliations, or accomplishments in a single graduation ceremony.

At Tassel Depot, we provide high-quality graduation honor cords for every level of education, from high school graduation cords to custom cords for colleges, clubs, and professional programs. Our products are available in a wide variety of styles and colors, with customizable options to match your institution or organization's traditions.

What Is a Graduation Honor Cord?

A graduation honor cord is a symbolic accessory awarded to students for various achievements. These cords are most commonly given for academic honors like cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude designations. They’re also awarded to students who are part of honor societies, fraternities or sororities, school clubs, or service organizations.

In addition, cords may be distributed during milestone events like freshman convocation or departmental ceremonies. And while schools often provide honor cords, students can also purchase their own to ensure they’re properly represented on graduation day.

Custom and Multi-Color Options

We offer single-color cords, two-color twisted cords, and even three-color braided combinations. Many clubs, societies, and academic programs choose custom cords to represent their unique identities. At Tassel Depot, we welcome custom requests to help you design the perfect cords for your ceremony.
