Dress for the Graduation Ceremony

Males should wear white dress shirt and dark tie, dark slacks (NO JEANS) and dress shoes (Not sneakers or sandals).
Females should wear a white dress that is not longer than the gown and low-heeled shoes.
The graduation robe (males - blue, females - white) should look neat. Press it if needed, but be careful not to scorch the fabric. No decoration may be added to the cap and gown. No graduate may carry anything. Do not wear your cap and gown to the ceremony site. Carry it on a hanger.
Do not chew gum.
The mortarboard (cap) should be worn slightly towards the front of the head approximately 1 inch above the eyebrow. It is never worn on the back of the head.
The tassel is worn on the left side of the head. You will be moving the tassel to the right along with your classmates later on during the ceremony.
Ladies, do not bring a purse.
