Typically, your tassel will arrive attached to your mortarboard cap. If you have purchased a tassel separately then please follow the next steps. Remove your tassel from its delivery protective sleeve. Hold it up and check for any tangled strands. Slide the loop at the top of the tassel onto the button at the centre of the top of your graduation hat. Tug gently on the tassel to make sure it's firmly seated under the button. Arrange your tassel so it drapes over the right side of your graduation hat while you're wearing it. Once you have graduated, you can then move your tassel to the left-hand side of your cap.
