ACADEMIC REGALIA
At The UWI, all undergraduate and postgraduate robes (with the exception of Doctoral candidates) are blue princetta while doctoral robes are red. *Non-degree graduates wear a calf-length scarlet gown. In this formal ceremony graduands are required to wear academic dress as follows:
Female Graduands: White dresses or long pantsuits with black shoes. (Other colours are not acceptable). Heels should be of reasonable height since you will be standing for long periods of time. Black shoes are preferred. Bright colours are not acceptable
Please note: short pants, skirts mid-thigh and above, and tight-fitted garments are unacceptable. Please be guided accordingly.
Male Graduands: formal wear/dark lounge suits with white shirt and tie. Black or dark brown shoes are preferred. Bright colours are not acceptable.
Gowns are designed to be worn with shirts. You should therefore bring along safety pins to secure gowns to apparel.
All Graduands must comply with these requirements
