Graduation Cords
Graduation cords are long, thin, colored ropes with tassels on each end that are worn around the neck during commencement ceremonies. These cords recognize graduates with academic honors or who have participated in certain groups or clubs, in colors determined by each school or club. Requirements for special merits, including cum laude, summa cum laude and magna cum laude, as well as which groups or organizations may qualify for cord honors, will vary from school to school. If you are unaware of your school's policies, please check with a school administrator.

Cords are available in three styles, including 180+ colors or color combinations. All cords are approximately 70 inches long with a 1/4 inch diameter. Tassels are each approximately 4" in length, making up a total of 8" of the 70" cord length.

Honor cords are symbolic of a student's achievements throughout their academic career, from freshman year all the way until the day you receive a diploma at the convocation assembly. either through accomplishing a certain grade point average (cords are often given to university undergraduates who obtained a minimum cumulative GPA in their undergraduate studies), being a member of a particular honor society or club, or graduating from a particular school or department within the institution that grants graduation cords as keepsakes for that degree program.


How to Wear an Honor Cord
An honor cord is worn draped over the neck like a shawl, so one side hangs from each shoulder. The middle of the cord, or knot if you have double or triple-tied cords, will sit immediately behind your neck. The tassels of the cord hang down evenly on each side. To lock down the perfect look, fasten the cord in place at the back of your gown with a safety pin before heading out of your dressing room.
