Proper Wearing of Your Graduation Cap and Gown
The Cap
The cap should be worn so that the mortarboard is level. It should not be crocked to the back or side of the head. The crown should be approximately one inch above the eyebrows. The front of the cap is indicated on the inside of the crown.
The Tassel
Tassels are worn over the right temple. All graduates should wear the tassel on the same side for uniformity. Graduates shift the tassel from the right to the left - in unison - after all diplomas are received, as directed.
The Gown
