GENERAL RULES ON CAPS AND ACADEMIC GARB

• According to traditional academic protocol, women do not remove their caps at any time during an academic exercise. Men remove their caps while sitting and replace them upon standing. If prayer is being offered or scripture is being read while standing, men remove their caps during such periods. Although this is the traditional rule, women should feel free to remove their caps at such times as men do.
• Do not wear light-colored shoes.
• Do not wear corsages or boutonnieres.
• Do not wear honorary ropes, cords or medals.  Credo graduates are the only students allowed to display honors regalia.
