Line 52:
For bachelor's degrees the tassel may be colored differently from the traditional black or school colors to represent the field (or one as closely related as possible) in which the wearer obtained his or her education. In 1896 most colleges and universities in the United States adopted a uniform code governing academic dress. The tassel may be adorned with a charm in the shape of the digits of the year.
The [[American Council on Education]] (ACE) code states that "The tassel should be black or the colour appropriate to the subject," and only makes an exception for the gold tassel. The gold metallic tassel is reserved for those entitled to wear the [[doctorate|doctoral]] gown, as is the use of velvet for headwear. Only one tassel is worn at a time. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Academic Regalia|url=https://www.acenet.edu/Programs-Services/Pages/Academic-Regalia.aspx|access-date=2020-12-14|website=www.acenet.edu|language=en-US}}</ref>
<!-- Some of the links for the colour names are different than the colour names given by the ACE. This is because the links take the reader to the colour closest to that actually used by the ACE and academic hood manufacturers. So, when reading the article, one will see a close representation of the colour and the ACE name for the colour, and can click on the name to be taken to the article on the actual colour used. -->
