I don't know about GoLite tents, but the Henry Shires Tarptents and a number of other brands are made with a grommet at the top of the tent for the point on the trekking pole to fit into, so the poles go point up, handle down. You do have to be a bit careful that the pole point doesn't slip out of the grommet, which can lead to a nice hole punctured at the peak of the tent (been there, done that).

My ZPacks Hexamid Twin is made to accommodate the poles with handle up. This is the first tent I've seen do that, but there are a lot of different tents out there with which I'm not familiar.

Your tent should have come with instructions for pitching, or at least a link as to where to find the instructions online. It's a good idea to practice putting the shelter up and down several times before heading out on a trip with it.
