Academic dress for students
Please remember that graduands and diplomates are expected to wear the University academic dress for the ceremony. To hire or purchase your graduation outfit, please visit Ede and Ravenscroft online.
The colour of your attire is dependent upon the qualification achieved:
There is no compulsory formal dress code. However, smart dress is appropriate and a blouse or shirt makes it easier to attach your hood. This may be an appropriate opportunity to wear your national dress.
Before you start your booking, please make sure you know your head circumference in centimetres (follow the diagram below) plus your chest and height measurements.
To hire or purchase your graduation outfit:
- Visit the Ede and Ravenscroft website.
- Call +44 (0)1223 861 854 (charged at normal BT rates).
- For those with hearing or speech difficulties facilities are available using your textphone, dial 1800 1012 2386 1854 to access the RNID Typetalk System.
- International students may call the information line on +44 (0)1223 861 854.
Please book early – Ede and Ravenscroft cannot always guarantee an order if you leave your booking later than 21 days before your ceremony.
You will be able to collect your academic dress from the Newton building on Goldsmith Street in Nottingham. This will be indicated on the map in the additional information sent to you nearer the time. Signs and stewards will direct you on the day of the ceremony.
If your ceremony takes place in the morning, please collect your gown between 08.00 and 10.00. If your ceremony takes place in the afternoon, please collect your gown between 11:00 and 13:30
