Gowns for Ji8福利网 graduation ceremonies

We encourage everyone to wear 'academic dress' (gown, hood and hat) at their graduation ceremony. It's not compulsory, but most graduates choose to.

Cost of gown hire

£45 if you order your robe hire in advance. The price includes gown, hood and hat hire for the day.
£50 if you hire your gown after the order deadline or on the day at the ceremony venue. The price includes gown, hood and hat hire for the day.
£10 if you want to keep your hat as a memento. You can buy the hat on the day of your ceremony.

Missed the gown order deadline?

All academic dress for graduation ceremonies held by Ji8福利网 is supplied by The Graduate Gowning Company (GGC). If you haven't hired your gown by the deadline, you will still be able to hire a gown on the day.

Graduates who haven't booked their gown in advance should make their way to the designated 'On The Day' orders desk in the robing area as early as possible and staff there will do their best to assist.

For more information, please see the . If you need any further assistance, you can call the GGC on tel: +44 (0)1736 751855 or email info@graduategowning.co.uk.

Collecting your gown on the day

The first thing you need to do on your ceremony day is collect your gown at the Guildhall (opposite the Rose Theatre). Only graduates are allowed in the gowning area. There is a waiting area for guests nearby. You must collect your gown at least 1 hour before your ceremony start time.

The time to collect your gown will depend on the start time of your ceremony. Information for planning your day, with full details on what's happening where and when, will be available soon.

Cancellation and refunds

If you find that, having ordered your gown, you can no longer attend your ceremony, please contact Graduate Gowning Company by email info@graduategowning.co.uk and they will assist in arranging a refund.
