Gowns

You need the right gown and hood before the time of assembly. 

If you forget to rent a gown, you can rent one on site 1.5 hours prior to your ceremony at Merlis Belsher Place onsite, the day of your ceremony.  We encourage graduands to pick up their gowns early on the day of their ceremony to avoid long lines.

 

All hoods and gowns must be returned the same day as your ceremony. Regalia returned late will be subject to a fee equivalent to the purchase price. 

Gown Pickup and Onsite Rentals

Pickup Date Time Place
Wednesday, November 13 7:30am-5:30pm Ron and Jane Graham Gymnasium, Merlis Belsher Place 

 

Graduands who attend the Convocation ceremony are required to wear regalia. We ask that graduands do not alter the academic regalia (gown or hood) as it represents your academic achievement

  • First Nation, Metis and Inuit graduands are invited to wear their traditional regalia over academic regalia or in place of it.
  • Graduands in the Canadian Armed Forces, police, fire or emergency services may wear their uniform without an acandemic gown. A hood (if applicable) is still required to be worn on the uniform or carried over an arm. 

All graduands must obtain a hood, with the exception of students graduating with a certificate. The hood must be for the credential you are receiving on the day of that ceremony, not for a degree you may already hold. Be sure to obtain a gown and hood prior to the time of assembly. Gowns and hoods are available on a non-refundable rental basis. If you have questions please contact convocation@usask.ca

  • Boutonnieres and corsages may not be worn on the academic dress.
  • Flowers are not suitable for the academic dress or the ceremony and should be held in reserve for celebrations after the ceremony.
  • It is recommended that no money or valuables be brought to the assembly area.
  • Purses, bags, etc. are not to be carried during the ceremony.
