Bachelor Regalia

Authentically styled, the Bachelor gown is cut comfortably full. Twin front panels and full genuine pleats parallel the zipper closure, the gown is to be worn closed. Precision fluting around the shoulders and back create smooth, graceful folds and flows. The hood is of the same material as the gown. It is lined with the official color of the conferring degree with velvet border that indicates the degree. Bachelor Regalia completes with a traditional mortarboard and a black tassel. It should be worn flat on the head with the tassel hanging on the right.

How to wear the Academic Hood

The hood is to be placed over the gown around the neck and shoulders so that the larger portion with the satin colors hangs down the wearer’s back. The velvet border is worn facing out, with the velvet positioned as the upper band on the hood (under the chin) and the narrow satin trim positioned as the lower band. Smooth the velvet band and satin trim into place as the hood is draped over the shoulders and down the back.

Look for a loop or hook attached to the front of the hood that should be fastened to the gown so that it does not press on the front of the wearer’s neck.
 

To expose the satin lining in the back, starting at the middle-back level, turn the free edge of the velvet border, below the shoulders, with the fingertips out to the sides and under in a small “inside out” maneuver. This will cause the satin lining to roll into view. Secure the cord at the upper back to both buttons found in the lining to keep the hood from spreading apart in the back and falling off the shoulders.
 

  Additional Guidance on the Regalia

* For the men, please wear a long-sleeved shirt with collar, a tie and
   dark coloured long pants.

* For the ladies, please wear a long-sleeved shirt or blouse with collar and
