We design UWA graduation gowns that meet all requirements
We are experts in gown design and understand the nitty-gritty details that make your University of Western Australia graduation gown unique. The length of the trim, the colour of the hood lining and the width of the sleeve differ based on your level and field of study. Similarly, accessories like the mortarboard and sash may or may not be present, or may vary in design. Having supplied graduation gowns to universities across Australia, we know how to create gowns that fit your size while meeting university criteria too. You can rest assured that your UWA graduation gown will be approved once purchased from us.
Purchased UWA graduation gowns make lifelong memorabilia
Your UWA days are special and worth treasuring forever. Your UWA graduation gown will serve as a lifelong reminder of your hard work, talent and determination. You can use it as a confidence booster when times are tough, or just something to cheer you up when you are down. Rental gowns just don’t make the cut and worse, they add extra stress to graduation day. Why stand in line hours before the ceremony – just to collect your UWA graduation gown? You can better use that time reminiscing with friends and family, or taking staged photographs in your favourite hangout spots. After all, you will be dressed up way before anybody else!
If you purchase in a group, your UWA graduation gown will cost same as the rental fee. UWA graduates know a good deal when they see one – Why rent, when you can just buy it instead?
UWA graduation gowns — common questions
What is included in a UWA graduation gown set?
A UWA 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 UWA 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 UWA?
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 UWA 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 UWA graduation regalia?
Buying is usually cheaper. Universities typically charge close to $150 to hire a graduation gown for a single ceremony, while a UWA 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 UWA 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.
