Full academic dress (sub fusc) must be worn at degree ceremonies underneath your gown. Students may wear their preferred items from the following list:

PLUS:
Please note:
Ministers of religion may wear clerical dress, with a gown over, when attending ceremonies.
If a student wears a head dress/scarf for religious reasons, a black scarf should be worn.
Members of the University serving in HM Forces are permitted to wear uniform together with a gown. This is only applicable to members of The British Armed Forces in the UK. Uniform caps should be removed when indoors.
All students, EXCEPT those having a doctorate conferred, can arrive at the Sheldonian wearing the gown of the degree that they are going to have conferred at the ceremony, and then add the hood at the appropriate time during the ceremony. It is important that all students should bring their mortarboards with them (or arrange to hire one).
Doctoral candidates must wear the gown (and hood) of their current Oxford status to the ceremony (if you have no other Oxford degrees, this means your graduate gown). Candidates then change into the DPhil gown once their degree has been conferred. We assume that doctoral candidates can provide their own graduate gown and mortarboard unless they tell us otherwise.
It is recommended to hire the necessary gown(s), which can be arranged through College (and should be paid for on collection in cash - approximate hire cost £50 per gown).
Please note that graduands are not permitted to bring any possessions into the Sheldonian Theatre unless needed for medical reasons. This includes bags and phones. They may leave items in the Divinity School but the safest option is to entrust them to their guests until after the ceremony.
