Wholesale Cheap Colorful Graduation Hat with High Quality 

The graduation cap is the most symbolic item of attire at a university graduation ceremony. It is no ordinary hat—its square crown represents books and knowledge, whilst the hanging tassel symbolises ripe ears of wheat. During the tassel-turning ceremony, the moment the tassel is moved from right to left signifies that you have officially graduated.

Advantages

• The square crown symbolises knowledge: the square crown resembles an open book. The four corners represent the breadth and depth of knowledge.
• The hanging tassel symbolises maturity: the tassel at the centre of the crown evolved from the shape of a sheaf of wheat. The tassel-turning ceremony—where the tassel is moved from the front right to the front left—represents the ripening of the wheat and the completion of one’s studies.
• Black base with gold tassel, classic and dignified: The black cap paired with a gold or black tassel is a universally recognised symbol of graduation. Donning the academic gown and cap is the most formal attire for a graduate.
• Space for signatures and mementos, a mark of youth: The inside of the cap can be inscribed with names, graduation year and messages from classmates. When you look back on it years later, the handwriting remains, and so does the spirit of youth.

FAQ

Q1: What is the significance of the tassel on an academic cap? What does the tassel‑turning ceremony entail?
A1: The tassel symbolises the ripening of wheat ears. The tassel‑turning ceremony signifies the completion of one’s studies.
Significance of the tassel:

• The design of the tassel is derived from wheat ears — symbolising a bountiful harvest and maturity.

• Before the degree is conferred, the tassel hangs from the top right‑hand side of the cap.

• Once the degree has been conferred, the tassel is turned to the top left‑hand side.
  The Tassel‑Turning Ceremony:

• The Vice‑Chancellor or supervisor moves the tassel from the right to the left.

• This signifies the ripening of the wheat ears — and the completion of one’s studies.

• It is one of the most solemn moments of the graduation ceremony.
  Tassel Colours:

• Black / navy blue: Bachelor’s degree.

• Gold: Certain disciplines or honours degrees.

• Other colours: Classified by discipline — e.g., white for medicine, yellow for science and engineering, etc.

Q2: How should the academic cap be worn? How is it secured?
A2: The correct way to wear it is as follows.
Wearing instructions:

• Place the cap flat on the top of your head — with the flat top parallel to the ground.

• The pointed tip — V‑shaped opening — should face forwards.

• The tassel hangs down on the right‑front side — before the degree is conferred.

• The crown should cover the top of the head — with the hairline visible.

• Secure the crown to the hair with hairpins — to prevent it from slipping.
  Frequently Asked Questions:

• Cap too large: Secure with hairpins — or use double‑sided tape to attach the inside of the crown to the hair.

• Cap too small: Most graduation caps are one‑size‑fits‑all. Adjust the position using hairpins. If too tight, gently stretch the crown — take care not to tear it.

• Cap keeps slipping: Ensure the crown is flat and level. Secure it on both sides with hairpins.
  Advice for female students: Those with long hair are advised to wear a low ponytail or an updo. This allows the crown to grip the hair more securely.

Q3: How should the graduation cap be cleaned and maintained?
A3: It is not recommended to wash the graduation cap. Spot cleaning is advised.
Cleaning instructions:

• Cap crown / tube: Gently wipe stained areas with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking large areas.

• Tassel: If soiled, hand wash in cold water using a neutral detergent. Air dry naturally — do not expose to direct sunlight.
  Care instructions:

• Store flat — to prevent deformation of the cap crown caused by heavy pressure.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight — fabric may fade.

• Do not pull the tassel with force.

• Store in a dry place — to prevent dampness and mould.
  Storage recommendations:

• Place in a dust bag or presentation box.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the crown.

• Tidy the tassel — to prevent tangling.

Q4: Are there any traditions associated with the cap‑tossing ceremony? Could it hit someone?
A4: Cap‑tossing is a classic part of the graduation ceremony. However, safety must be observed.
Timing of the cap toss:

• Usually performed collectively at the end of the graduation ceremony.

• All participants should act in unison when the presenter announces “Toss your caps!”
  Safety precautions:

• Ensure there is ample space around you when tossing the cap — to avoid crowding.

• Do not throw with excessive force. Toss vertically upwards.

• Take care to avoid obstacles — such as overhead cables and chandeliers.

• After tossing, move out of the way. Do not stare upwards — to avoid being struck.
  Friendly reminder: In recent years, some universities have discontinued the cap‑tossing ceremony for safety reasons. They have replaced it with the collective tossing of coloured paper or waving of graduation caps. It is advisable to confirm your university’s arrangements in advance.
