While some institutions have their own traditions, the placement of graduation pins is usually left up to the students. Some choose to secure their honor pins to their graduation cap, but one of the best ways to make sure your pins are visible in photos and to passersby is to attach them to your tassel. Graduation pins can also be attached to the ribbon of a graduation medal or the front of a graduation stole. If you prefer not to place pins on your cap and don’t have a stole or ribbon, pins can be placed directly on your robes along the collar.
