Begin by putting your graduation cap on the right way. The cap should be worn so one point of the cap is directly over the center of your head. In other words, if a person were to stand directly above you, the cap should look like a diamond. Wearing the cap this way will make positioning your graduation tassels easier.

Tips & Warnings
Students graduating from a larger college or university will be asked to stand during the ceremony. When you are told to do so, grab your tassels and flip them over the cap to the left side. The tassels should remain there until you remove the cap. Students who have already received a bachelor's degree should place their tassels on the left side of the cap after they place the cap on. This is also true for members of the faculty as well as any school administrators attending the graduation ceremony.
