The square academic graduate cap, also known as a mortarboard, trencher or Oxford cap, is an item of academic dress. It consists of a horizontal square board fixed upon a skull-cap, with a tassel attached to the centre.
 
Likewise, a Tudor bonnet, also known as a doctor’s bonnet or round cap, is also an item of academic dress. A Bonnet is a traditional soft-crowned, round-brimmed cap, with a tassel hanging from a cord encircling the hat.
 
Today the bonnet has a strong association with academic tradition. Holders of research or professional doctoral degrees or full higher doctorates wear the bonnet as part of their academic dress. Additionally, at certain educational establishments, the bonnet distinguishes university officers.

Conferring of Awards ceremonies are inspiring events that have both formal and symbolic significance.

Graduation at the college and university level occurs when the presiding officer confers degrees upon candidates, either individually or en masse, even if graduates physically receive their diploma later at a smaller college or departmental ceremony. Not only will the faculty usually wear academic dress at the formal ceremonies, but also the trustees and degree candidates.

Typical dress for graduation is not only gown and hood, but also hats adapted from the daily dress of university staff in the Middle Ages, which was in turn based on the attire worn by medieval clergy.
