We are pleased to introduce the Tassel Turning Ceremony as a new feature of APU's graduation celebrations.
The Tassel Turning Ceremony is a tradition in which graduates move the tassel on their mortarboard cap from the right side to the left side, marking the completion of their studies and the transition from student to graduate. It symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter in life.
At APU, this ceremony has been introduced to recognize and celebrate the hard work, achievements, and personal growth of our graduates, while also marking their departure toward a bright future. As all participants move their tassels together, the entire venue will be united in a memorable and meaningful moment that celebrates this important milestone.
