Ace your graduation. Get the tricky bits – the hood, the mortarboard and your conduct – right, with the help of NTU students Iqbal Singh, Anais Herbaux and Oh Ling En
by Kwan Shu Yi
Looking good with the hood
Wear your hood proudly, like a medal. V-shaped fold at the front, odd-shaped flap at the back.
Seal the deal
Hugs, high-fives or TikTok fun? They’ll go better when your hood stays in place, so use these fasteners. Now you’re ready for the spotlight.
Be cap-tivating
As your moment is cap-tured by fam, look sharp with your mortarboard nicely level, secured with bobby pins if needed.
The card up your sleeve
The attendance cards you get at registration are your golden tickets. You’ll need to present one for your stage moment and use the other to collect your graduation cert off-stage.
Applaud the squad
Let your friends bask in their moment of glory. Cheer them on loudly and remember to silence your phone.
Stage presence
Impress with your best smile and a firm handshake. Save selfies and cutesy poses for after the ceremony.
