UniSQ Academic dress

PLEASE NOTE: At 2022 graduation celebrations and ceremonies, graduates will wear a COVID Safe simplified version of UniSQ academic dress. All graduates will wear either a Doctoral/Masters/Bachelor gown, a Doctoral/Masters fully-lined hood or partially-lined Bachelor hood (regardless of academic program), and a Doctoral bonnet with tasselled chord or mortarboard. Your mortarboard/Doctoral bonnet with chord is provided as a giveaway memento of your ceremony.

We encourage you to wear smart attire rather than casual clothing or casual footwear (thongs or sneakers). Academic dress can be quite warm, so keep this in mind when selecting your clothing for the day.

Your loan of academic dress for your ceremony is included in your AUD150 Ceremony Fee, and subject to the following conditions:

academic dress cannot be removed from the graduation ceremony venue for any reason
academic dress must be returned within an hour of the conclusion of the graduation ceremony, or an additional hire charge/replacement fee may be applicable
a charge for cleaning or repairs may be applied if the gown is returned in a soiled or damaged condition
items of academic dress not returned, or returned in a significantly damaged condition that cannot be repaired, will incur a fee for the full replacement value of the gown, and hood
