Please take into consideration the following rules when decorating your graduation cap.

Failure to follow these rules will result in a replacement cap being given to you during commencement.

  • No offensive language, sayings, nicknames, pictures or lyrics on cap

  • No objects such as signs, stuffed animals, bells, flowers, or any 3D object may rest on the cap.

  • All decorations MUST lay FLAT on the cap. Nothing can lay perpendicular thus allowing us to see the decoration beyond eye level.

It is appropriate to put the following on your cap:
