A university cap, also known as an academic cap or mortarboard, is a traditional headwear worn during graduation ceremonies in many countries. It consists of a flat, square board with a tassel attached to the center, which hangs from a button on the top of the cap. The color and style of the cap may vary depending on the institution, degree level, and academic field. The cap symbolizes the completion of a degree and the academic achievement of the wearer.
