You will learn what the tassel is, why schools still use it, how to wear it correctly, and where to turn for related graduation guidance. By the end, you will know exactly what to expect when your name is called.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#What_Is_a_Cap_and_Gown_Tassel\" >What Is a Cap and Gown Tassel?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#Why_Does_a_Cap_and_Gown_Tassel_Matter\" >Why Does a Cap and Gown Tassel Matter?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#What_comes_with_a_cap_and_gown_with_tassel\" >What comes with a cap and gown with tassel?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#How_to_Wear_a_Cap_and_Gown_Tassel_Correctly\" >How to Wear a Cap and Gown Tassel Correctly?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#Graduation_Day_Tips_for_First-Time_Graduates\" >Graduation Day Tips for First-Time Graduates<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/cap-and-gown-tassel\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Cap_and_Gown_Tassel\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Cap and Gown Tassel?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cap and gown tassel is a bundle of thin cords gathered at one end and attached to the button on top of a graduation cap. It hangs down the side of the mortarboard and moves from right to left once a degree is officially awarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tassel is a small piece of fabric, but it carries a large amount of tradition. Universities in medieval Europe used decorative cords on scholarly headwear centuries before the modern commencement ceremony existed. That tradition carried over into American schools, where the tassel became a tradition of graduation wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The graduation cap and the tassel serve different roles. The cap, often called a mortarboard because of its flat, square top, signals that the wearer belongs to an academic community. The tassel adds a personal and visual marker of the exact moment a student becomes a graduate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Color also matters. Many undergraduate tassels use a shade tied to the graduate&#8217;s field of study, while cords for honors or special recognition are worn separately. If yours does not arrive with your cap or needs swapping out, our guide on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/guide-to-choose-graduation-tassel\/?\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to choose the right graduation tassel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covers color codes and quality options. During commencement, the tassel gives the audience and the graduate a clear, visible signal that a major achievement has been reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_a_Cap_and_Gown_Tassel_Matter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Does a Cap and Gown Tassel Matter?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cap and gown tassel is a meaningful symbol of graduation. It recognizes academic achievement, celebrates commitment, and reminds graduates of the achievement they worked hard to reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Symbol of Academic Achievement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cap and gown tassel represents years of study, exams, and late nights combined into one small thing. Wearing it is a visible sign that a school has confirmed a student has met every requirement for their degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many graduates keep their tassels long after the ceremony ends. It becomes a visual reminder of a particular date, a particular school, and a significant achievement that no test score or transcript can fully capture. That is why many graduates look for ways to preserve their graduation tassels once the ceremony is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Moment That Marks Your Graduation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduates move the tassel on the cap from one side to the other at some point in the ceremony. That single motion marks the switch from candidate to graduate in front of family, friends, and classmates. Schools build this moment into the ceremony on purpose. It gives every graduate a shared, unified action that closes one chapter and opens another at the same instant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_comes_with_a_cap_and_gown_with_tassel\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What comes with a cap and gown with tassel?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most schools issue a cap and gown with tassel as a set, though some students choose to add extra pieces for honors or academic differences. Knowing what belongs to your regalia helps you avoid last-minute confusion on graduation day.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation Item<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purpose<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Usually Wears It<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation cap<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signals academic status and completion of a degree<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All graduates<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation gown<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formal robe worn over regular clothing during the ceremony<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All graduates<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tassel<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marks the exact moment a degree is conferred<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All graduates<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hood<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shows the graduate&#8217;s field of study and degree level<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Master&#8217;s and doctoral graduates, and some bachelor&#8217;s programs<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honor cords<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognize academic distinctions such as cum laude status<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduates with qualifying honors<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stole<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Represents membership in a club, program, or cultural group<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduates in specific programs or organizations<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these items look similar but serve very different purposes on stage.

To attach a tassel to cap and gown outfits, loop the cord around that button and pull it snug so the tassel hangs freely along one side of the cap. Check the loop before the ceremony starts. A loose tassel can slide out of place during processing or photos, which is an easy problem to avoid with a quick check at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Side Should the Tassel Be On?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tassel placement changes at three points around your graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the ceremony, undergraduate students typically wear the tassel on the right side of the cap.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After receiving your degree, move the tassel from right to left when your school tells you to, usually right after your name is called or after each graduate\u2019s degree is confirmed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After graduation: Once the tassel is moved to the left, it remains there for the duration of the ceremony and any photos that follow.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation Stage<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tassel Position<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before ceremony<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right side, common undergraduate practice<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Degree conferred<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moves from right to left<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduate programs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placement can vary by institution and degree level<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do All Schools Follow the Same Tassel Rules?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not always. Cap and gown tassel rules for master&#8217;s and doctoral candidates often differ from those for undergraduates, since many graduate students wear their tassels on the left side from the start and skip the turn entirely. Always confirm the exact instructions from your school before the event. Commencement staff or your program coordinator can tell you precisely when and how to move your tassel, since local traditions can differ even within the same university system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graduation_Day_Tips_for_First-Time_Graduates\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation Day Tips for First-Time Graduates<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few small preparations around your cap and gown tassel can prevent avoidable stress once the ceremony begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your school&#8217;s official instructions for tassel placement and timing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know which side the tassel starts on before you leave home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sew the tassel to the button so it will not shift during the ceremony.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pack any extra graduation accessories, like cords or stoles, the night before.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please get in line a little early so you don&#8217;t feel rushed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your full cap and gown in a mirror before photos begin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want more ideas for<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomacovers.com\/blog\/graduation-cap-tassel-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">graduation outfits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, our detailed guide covers accessories, poses, and common styling mistakes to avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A graduation <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tassel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tassel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a small item with a large job to do.
