Academic dress
All graduates attending a graduation ceremony are required to wear the full approved academic dress. It is made up of three parts;
- Gown,
- Hood and
- Mortarboard or bonnet.
The colour and style of your academic dress is determined by the level of qualification you are completing and the discipline you studied. The hood colour is determined by your college.
Stoles
If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australian you are entitled to wear a stole, worn over the gown and under the hood of the academic dress for the relevant degree. You can borrow a stole for your ceremony, they will be available at academic dress collection.
On the day collection
The collection and return of your academic dress will be in the academic dress area on graduation day. All academic dress must be returned before leaving the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Providing your own academic dress
You can borrow academic dress items from friends and family, however, all items must be in the correct specification as per the Academic Dress Procedures and may be required to be approved prior to your ceremony by Graduation Services.
