Graduate Gowning & Attire
Academic Dress is compulsory for you to attend your graduation. This includes a gown, hood, and trencher (cap) or bonnet, depending on your qualification. The trencher is yours to keep, while the gown, hood and bonnet (if relevant) must be returned immediately after the ceremony.
The regalia hire fee is included in your graduation fee. When you place your order, you will be able to select your size and height, which ensures you receive the correct fit on the day.
In addition to academic dress, the dress code is smart/semi-formal attire. Graduands are encouraged to wear clothing that complements the gown (e.g., a collared shirt and tie, blouse, or dress) along with smart shoes. Please avoid casual clothing such as jeans, shorts, or sportswear.
If the gown and hood are not returned, you will be invoiced for the full replacement cost of the academic regalia.
