How to Hood Video

Hooding Instructons

1. Line up behind your student.
2. After his/her name is called, the student will walk to approximately mid-stage and stand on the “X”.
3. Follow your student and step up onto the small box behind the “X”, where your student is standing.
4. Take the hood, at the smallest end, from your student.
5. Place the hood over your student’s head, so that it lays against the front of his/her neck and drapes over the back of the student’s shoulders.
6. The velvet side, signifying the degree type, should be most visible on the outside, with the satin side, signifying the school colors, should be less visible on the inside of the hood.
7. If this is the only student you are hooding today, please follow the student to the opposite side of the stage and exit back to your seat.
8. If you are hooding another student in the same college or department, please step back behind the announcer's podium (as your current student exits the stage), until your next student is called.
