Graduation Albury-Wodonga 2020/21 9 Ceremonial tradition

Academic regalia Universities are heirs to traditions going back eight centuries. The colourful robes worn by today’s graduands originate from the everyday dress of scholars and teachers in the Middle Ages. The traditions and colours can vary between institutions, which is why you may notice some differences in style among the academic procession. For universities in the English-speaking world, there are normally three separate garments – the gown, the hood, and the cap. Bachelors and Masters wear the hard cap known as the trencher, or mortarboard. Doctors wear a soft velvet cap with a tassel of the colour appropriate to their discipline.
