Mortar Boards (graduation caps)
You are welcome to decorate your keepsake cap and show your Bearcat pride, creativity and style.
The cap is yours to keep, so you may decorate with permanent materials. Make sure that you look inside the cap to determine which is the front and which is the back and decorate accordingly.
Rules for decorations:
- No vulgar language
- No inappropriate verbiage or pictures
- Decorations cannot obstruct the view of those behind you
