Graduation Caps

Friends and family members of graduates convene to celebrate the academic achievements of their loved ones during graduation ceremonies. During this momentous event, the graduates are expressing the pride of their accomplishments by wearing unique graduation caps among other components that make up the academic regalia. These headdresses consist of a square board that is horizontally fixed on a skull-cap, with an attachment of a tassel at the center. graduation caps are generally referred to as mortarboards and together with a gown and sometimes a hood, they are the university graduate’s customary uniform. Different colors and designs aids in distinguishing different institutions and fields of study.
Mortarboards are required to be of appropriate size and most are customized with an elastic skull in order to eliminate the requirement of making numerous mortarboards in varying sizes. The skull cap’s back is on a few occasions laced up in some mortarboards to ensure a perfect fit. The ideal way of wearing a mortarboard is ensuring that the skull’s larger section is at the rear of the head while the mortarboard top remains horizontally parallel in relation to the ground. When graduation caps fit properly, this is a guarantee that they cannot easily fall off and lead to embarrassment.
