As part of the graduation registration process in Student Connect, students who select to attend their ceremony will be directed to the GFP Graduations portal to order their academic dress and provide size details. GFP is our official academic dress and professional graduation photography supplier.
Academic dress orders must be submitted before the graduation registration deadline. You will collect your academic dress on the day of the ceremony.
Your graduation ceremony is a formal celebration of your achievement and we encourage you to dress appropriately.
- Wear an appropriate seasonal outfit, keeping in mind the weather on the day and that the gowns are quite warm.
- The hoods worn by Bachelor, Masters and Doctoral graduands can often be difficult to hold in place. Most hoods have a loop that can be slipped over a button on a buttoned shirt to assist with holding it in place.
- Graduation day involves a considerable amount of walking and standing, as well as negotiating stairs, so wearing very high heels can be problematic.
- Choose a simple hairstyle that allows you to wear your mortar board or bonnet comfortably.
- The length of the gown is below the knee so female graduands that wear knee length dresses or shorter will often appear to the audience as though they are only wearing the gown.
Attire that is not suitable includes:
- Jeans
- Singlets
- Thongs (and similar footwear)
- Runners/Joggers
- Shorts
