Wearing the Academic Regalia The cap and gown are to be worn for the entire processional and ceremony. The hood is to be carried over the outside arm during the entrance procession. When directed during the ceremony, follow these instructions to assist you in the proper way to wear your hood: 1. Put the hood on over head with velvet side up (facing your chin) and the small tapered end in front. 2. To prevent hood from riding against neck, attach the hood neck cord over shirt button or the gown zipper before closing gown. 3. Ask the graduate standing next to you to secure the cord across the back to keep the back of the hood together. 4. Additionally, ask the graduate standing next to you to turn out the satin (so that the satin blue and gray colors face out). 5. Graduates should wear their tassels on the left side of the cap throughout the ceremony.
