What are the parts of academic regalia?

The main parts are a gown, a cap or tam, a tassel and, for many graduate degrees, a hood. Some graduates also wear honor cords or stoles.

What color tassel should I wear?

Tassels are traditionally black or the color of your field, and doctoral graduates may wear gold. Your school may set its own rule, so check before you order.

What is a graduation tassel?

A graduation tassel is a dangling ornament typically made of silk or a similar material and attached to a loop at the top. It is commonly worn as part of the cap and gown ensemble during graduation ceremonies. The tassel is attached to the mortarboard, which is the square-shaped cap worn by graduates.

The color of the graduation tassel often holds symbolic meaning and may represent the graduate's academic discipline, school colors, or specific achievements. During the commencement ceremony, graduates typically begin with their tassels on one side of the cap (often the right side) and then move them to the other side (often the left side) upon receiving their diplomas. This symbolic gesture signifies the transition from being a candidate to a graduate.

In some cases, graduates may receive special tassels to denote honors, awards, or specific accomplishments. Overall, the graduation tassel is a traditional and symbolic accessory that adds a sense of ceremony and visual distinction to the cap and gown worn during graduation celebrations.

What is a jumbo tassel?

Jumbo bullion tassels, characterized by their increased thickness, are specifically employed on college tams. These tams often symbolize the field of study pursued by the student.

Will an academic tassel fit my cap?

The 6-inch hang loop is designed for easy fitting to a graduation cap.
