What you'll be wearing on the day
Graduates should wear smart, neat or professional attire as a minimum dress standard. Shorts, jeans, t-shirts, thongs, barefeet or joggers are not considered appropriate.
Academic gowns, hood and trenchers
Deakin University's academic regalia consists of three elements:
- a gown
- a hood (colour) and
- a trencher (cap or mortarboard) or bonnet.
The style of the gown, colour of the hood and type of trencher or bonnet worn depends upon the award you have received. To view the gown, hood and trencher or bonnet for your award please click on the images below.
If you are attending a graduation ceremony you will be provided with the appropriate regalia for your award on the day of your ceremony. You do not need to pre-order your regalia.
If you would like to purchase your own regalia this can be ordered through the Merchandise Shop. Please contact the Graduations Office when you have placed your order so we can note this on your graduation record.
