For High School graduation and college graduations with a Bachelor's Degree, the tassels are first worn on the right, and then flipped to the left upon receiving the diploma. So, when and how do you flip? Some schools prefer to have the student flip right after the handshake upon receipt of the degree, while others want them to flip their tassels just before walking off stage. It all depends on your school's tradition or policies.
However, there is an exception to this practice. If you are receiving a masters degree, the tassel starts on the left and is flipped to the right. Also, women should keep their graduation hats on at all times, but the men should take their hats off during the singing of the National Anthem only. |
