All graduands attending the graduation ceremony must wear the appropriate academic dress for their qualification.
If you cannot come in person, a proxy, who is a trusted friend or a family member, can pick up your gown and tickets on your behalf.
In the registration form, please provide their full name and their personal identity documents, either national ID card or passport or driving license.
When coming to collect your gown and tickets, your proxy needs to bring:
After collecting your gown and tickets, graduands can enter and take photos in the public areas on campus. Please note that access to restricted areas, including the library, classrooms and functional rooms is not permitted for safety reasons.
After your graduation session, you will need to return your gown but you can keep your hat!
You can also be creative with your graduation hat by customizing it. There will be a creative corner for graduands to decorate your hat if you want to.
This activity is organised by Student Life Department, RMIT Event Drive (RED), Visual Art, and Fashion Clubs.
When decorating your hat, please use common courtesy and refrain from using inappropriate language or images.
RMIT’s graduation dress is based on the Oxford style, so, at your graduation ceremony, you'll wear a traditional black gown, a hood or stole and a mortarboard or bonnet.
Exactly what you'll wear is determined by your program’s discipline and the level of award you receive, e.g. Bachelor, Master, or PhD.
