University of Canberra Graduation Gown | UC Gowns
A WIDE RANGE OF UC GRADUATION GOWNS
It’s one of the most important events of your life; don’t make it more stressful than it has to be. Gowning Street helps soon-to-be-graduates of the University of Canberra save time, money and effort in getting a properly fitted, high-quality academic robe, hood and mortar board.
Between studying for exams, finishing off final assessments, sending off resumes, planning a relaxing getaway and commiserating with friends, you’ll have your hands full in your final semester. Complicated university rental programs don’t help with cash-only payments, designed pick up and drop off hours and vicious late fees. Wouldn’t it be so much better if you could get your gown as easily as you buy a new jacket?
Affordable graduation gowns helping you look your very best
That’s where Gowning Street comes in. We make it easy to get the right academic dress in the right size with the right colours for your ceremony. Different institutions will mandate different styles of robe with different colour linings in the hood, so it’s important to ensure you get the right one.
Fortunately, our company’s close ties to region’s universities including ANU and UC means that we can offer you the right graduation gown for your ceremony. Save as much as 50 per cent on the total cost of hiring a gown. You won’t have to stand in massive return queues minutes after you receive your degree. Walk away from the latest chapter in your education with your head held high and a piece of memorabilia that will last a lifetime.

UC graduation gowns — common questions
What is included in a UC graduation gown set?
A UC graduation set from Gowning Street includes a graduation gown, a matching mortarboard (cap) with tassel, and the hood prescribed for your award. The gown is a traditional Cambridge-style, fully fluted academic gown cut from a premium-quality 230GSM polyester weave, and the mortarboard is made from polyester and wool felt with a rigid board, an elasticised fit and a tassel. A full UC set including the hood is $105; gown-and-cap sets without a hood start from $85.
What size graduation gown and cap should I order for UC?
Gowns are sized by your height: XS under 158cm, S 159-164cm, M 165-170cm, L 171-177cm and XL 178cm and over.
Mortarboards are sized by head circumference: XS under 46cm, S 47-50cm, M 51-54cm, L 55-59cm and XL over 59cm. If you fall between two sizes, order the larger one. Hoods are one size, so there is no hood measurement to take.
How long does delivery take for UC graduation regalia?
Orders placed before 12 noon on a weekday leave our warehouse the same day; orders after that leave the next business day. Standard delivery then takes 3-7 business days and express delivery 2-3 business days for most Australian states, with longer transit times to outer regional areas. We ship Australia-wide through Australia Post, and we recommend leaving a buffer before your ceremony during peak graduation periods.
Is it cheaper to buy or hire UC graduation regalia?
Buying is usually cheaper. Universities typically charge close to $150 to hire a graduation gown for a single ceremony, while a UC set from Gowning Street starts from $85 — and you keep it afterwards instead of queueing to return it. You can save a further $10 per set when you buy with friends.
Can I return or exchange UC graduation regalia?
All sales are final and we cannot accept returns for change of mind, because we are a retailer rather than a hire service. If an item arrives defective or incorrect through our error, tell us within 48 hours of receipt and we will replace it or refund it in full, including shipping. If you simply need a different size, submit the exchange form; an exchange costs $10 per item plus shipping, and items must be unworn and in their original packaging with the barcode attached. If you are unsure, contact us or call 1300 401 527 before ordering.
