Preparing Yourself for Graduation-

Step 1: The Robe

You will need to put the robe on first-

Graduate and research students:

You will have a slit about half way along the sleeve, which the arm will need to be tucked through.

Undergraduate students:

Although you may see slits,

make sure you place your arms

through the entire length

of the sleeves.

Pull the robe as far forward as

possible to rest on the shoulders-

the back of the garment should be

resting close to the nape of your neck.

If your robe slips while waiting

for your award, lift the garment

carefully and pull it forward to return

it to position.

Congratulations on Graduating from the Australian National University!

Students that attend their Graduation Ceremony must wear full academic dress to the event.

Students may hire/purchase gowns

and regalia from Southam Studios

for the event.

Open the hood so it is

all black on the outside,

with the point of the hood

toward the floor.

*hood shown is the "Oxford Burgon" cut

Step 2 - the Hood

Depending upon the level of award you are receiving, you will be assigned a type of hood. For example:

Undergraduate and graduate

students wear their hood on stage. The hood will be in the style known as "Oxford Burgon cut", which is lined on the inside with silk fabric in the colour associated with their College.

HDR students will be hooded on stage as part of their ceremony. The hood will be in the style known as "Cambridge", which is fully lined with blue silk fabric.

A Graduation is a formal

event, so under your robes

you are encouraged to dress

in formal wear suitable for the occasion.

Put the hood

over your head so

that the 'V' shape is

across your chest

The Colour of my Hood/Stole

Turn the coloured silk

just at the sides of your neck,

so that a thin line of colour is visible,

and turn the hood out just a

little at the back to show the

coloured bands on the inside.

If the hood is slipping, pin

the garment in place against

the robes.

At the ANU, the colour of your hood is associated with the colour of the ANU Academic College you are graduating from. If you are receiving multiple awards from different ANU Academic Colleges, a default option will be provided based on the ceremony you have been allocated [you will only wear one hood/stole].

Step 3 - Headdress

For undergraduate students,

the small point on

your trencher (mortarboard)

goes on your forehead.

Research students will wear a bonnet on stage.

The bonnet is fully lined black velvet with a blue cord and tassels. The tassels will sit on the right side of the face.

Undergraduate and graduate students will wear a trencher (mortarboard) on stage.

The trencher will be solid black felt, with a flat square top and a black silk tassel, sitting on an oval cap that has a small point in the fore and a large point in the back.

Assistance with robing will

be provided on the day.

If you want to prepare yourself,

however, this tutorial is a

useful example

of how to wear academic dress.

What do I need?

For the ceremony you will need:

  • a black robe

  • a hood/stole in the colour/style associated with your award

  • a trencher (mortarboard) (undergraduate and graduate students) or a bonnet (HDR students).

When you hire your robes, staff will identify the robes and colours suitable for the award you are receiving.
