Academic Regalia
It is mandatory for graduands to wear academic dress to their Conferring of Awards ceremony. If you are not wearing appropriate regalia when you register on the day, you will not be permitted to participate in the ceremony.
Academic dress includes: a black robe; a hood/stole in the colour and style associated with your award/s; and a trencher/mortarboard or bonnet (if applicable). If you are having two awards conferred, you will only need to hire/purchase one hood.
For financial assistance please see the offered by the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵStudent Association (ANUSA).
