Graduation accessories are items that enhance the graduation experience and celebration. Common accessories include graduation caps, also known as mortarboards, which are worn during the ceremony, and gowns that signify the level of education achieved. Many graduates also wear stoles or cords that represent academic honors or affiliations with specific organizations. In addition to clothing, graduates often use tassels that hang from their caps, which are typically moved from one side to the other during the ceremony. Other popular accessories include graduation announcements, photo frames, and diploma covers to showcase their achievements.
