Step four – Organise your graduation robes
Your academic dress
To see what your robes will be like, please read our description of your Academic Dress.
You will need to hire or buy your academic dress (cap, hood and gown) from Ede & Ravenscroft Ltd by Sunday 17 November at the latest either:
If you have hired your gown but then later find that you cannot attend on the day, or need to defer your graduation to the next set of ceremonies, you will be able to cancel your gown hire. In order to do so and receive a refund you will need to give written notice to Ede and Ravenscroft at least 7 days in advance of your ceremony.
You can do this by emailing Ede and Ravenscroft directly, or by logging into your E & R online account. Please note, there is a £1.50 admin charge for this.
