Graduation Regalia

Cap and Tassel

Graduation caps are rather flat mortarboards at the top with four sides normally worn on the head during graduation ceremonies. The graduation cap and tassel form part of the graduation regalia that is mandatory for graduates to wear. Normally, the cap is black in color but also comes in various colors that match with the gown. The cap has a tassel in the center held by a button for easy removal. The color of the tassel normally matches that of the institution granting the degree. In most instances, a graduation cap and tassel are sold separately in different colors, shapes and sizes. However, sometimes they are hired or sold together. Sometimes, a rubber band is used to tie the tassel securely to the cap so that it does not come off. Being part of the graduation regalia, it is important for graduates to select an appropriate cap and tassel for their various degree levels and schools.
