WHERE AND WHEN SHOULD I COLLECT MY GOWN?

You will be able to collect your gown from the ‘Welcome and Registration’ area at LMA on 26/7/24. We recommend that you arrive 60 – 90 minutes ahead of the start of your ceremony to register and collect your cap & gown.

Staff will be available to help you into your robes and show you how to position the hood.

The gown is yours to keep for the day, but must be returned back to LMA no later than 5pm. If you fail to do so you will be charged by the supplier not LMA.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

The award ceremony is a formal occasion and we encourage graduates to dress appropriately. You will find it useful to wear a buttoned top to which the academic hood can be fastened, or alternatively bring some small safety pins to affix the button-loop of the hood to your clothes. Hair pins are also useful to secure the mortar board (hat).

Gown: Black
Hood: Aberdeen shape, in black, lined with peacock blue, and tipped red embossed silk

Hat: Black cloth square cap with black tassel.

CAN I DEFER UNTIL NEXT YEAR?

It will not be possible to defer to a future ceremony.

HOW MANY GUESTS CAN I BRING?
