5 Cap and Gown Take cap and gown out of packaging several days before commencement. Steam gown or iron on very low heat to remove wrinkles.

6 Recommended Attire Participants and guests should dress comfortably. Women are encouraged to wear appropriate length dresses and dark shoes. Men are encouraged to wear dark slacks, light colored shirts and dark shoes.

7 Regalia Policy ACC graduates are expected to wear regalia without altering the appearance (minimum décor on mortarboard as described in the next slide).

The appropriate way to wear the mortarboard is flat on top of the head and not off to the side.

8 Mortarboard Policy Any excessive decoration on mortarboard caps and/or gowns are distracting and therefore inappropriate. ACC reserves the right to require you to remove any embellishment, deemed inappropriate by authorized ACC officials, before you are permitted to participate in the ceremony. Examples of inappropriate embellishment include, but are not limited to: Mortarboards with vulgar language, inappropriate verbiage or photos/graphic images; Mortarboards with lights, balloons and other items that could be pose a safety hazard; Decorations that obstruct the view of people seated behind the graduate; Designs with vertical structures or décor. Elements used in the design must lay as flat to the mortarboard as possible.
