Traditionally, the moving of the tassel at graduation is called, "turning the tassel" or "the turning of the tassel ceremony." It symbolizes one's transition from candidate to graduate. Standard protocol in the US dictates that the tassel be worn on the right side of one's mortarboard at commencement and then, during the ceremony, moved to the left side. Teachers and administrators at commencement place their tassels on the left.

The mortarboard originated in Europe in the 14th century as a headgear worn by clergy and scholars. Its distinctive square shape and tassel were later adopted by academic institutions as part of graduation regalia to symbolize scholarly achievement and tradition. The term "mortarboard" comes from the resemblance of its shape to a mason's tool used for holding mortar.
