Academic dress
In keeping with university traditions, you must wear the correct academic dress when attending your graduation
ceremony. Failure to do so could result in you not being admitted. Please ensure that your hood or neckband is
the correct colour and design for your qualification.
Ordering your academic dress
Please complete the order form provided in your graduation pack and forward it to the approved supplier of
academic dress. Do not return the form to the university. Unisa does not provide academic dress or facilitate any
arrangements in this regard.
Graduands
Graduands must wear an academic cap, gown and hood. The hood may only be worn after your degree has
been conferred.
Bachelor’s, honours and master’s degrees
• Gown - black, the same pattern as a Master of Arts gown of the University of Oxford or Cambridge
• Cap - black with a black tassel
Doctoral degrees

Diploma candidates
An academic gown and neckband must be worn. Diploma candidates do not wear a cap. The gown is black, the
same pattern as that of a Master of Arts gown of the University of Oxford or Cambridge. The neckband is not
draped during the ceremony. All candidates should wear the neckband when entering the hall.
