Academic Dress Hire - A QUT Student Guild Service

The QUT Student Guild Academic Dress Hire Service provides academic regalia for all Queensland University of Technology graduations.

Your academic dress hire must be booked and charges prepaid via 
QUTPay. Once your payment has been processed a PDF version of your receipt is emailed to you.  Please print and present this receipt at your graduation ceremony to collect your regalia.


Academic dress hire for Graduation Day MUST be booked and paid for a minimum of three working days in advance of Ceremony Day (to avoid a $30 late booking fee).

Sizes are not required as you will be personally fitted when you collect your regalia.  Due to security restrictions, only graduands are permitted in the Orchestra Room fitting area at the Performing Arts Complex.

Please refer to the Graduation website for all other ceremony information and FAQ's http://www.studentservices.qut.edu.au/grad/ceremonies


Return of Academic Dress Hire

Academic dress is to be returned to the Orchestra Room, Performing Arts Complex within one hour after the conclusion of your ceremony so that sufficient gowns are available for subsequent ceremonies. Failure to return academic dress on time could inconvenience fellow graduands.  If you do not return the articles hired after your ceremony, you may incur a $30 late fee each day until returned.

Purchase of Academic Regalia

Academic regalia may be purchased at any time.  Ex-hire regalia is available to buy at the ceremony. If you wish to purchase new regalia, please allow up to three weeks for delivery.  A full retail price list is available here

Hire for purposes other than QUT graduations

If you are a QUT graduate who is not attending a QUT graduation ceremony but would like to hire academic regalia for photographic purposes or other private event, please contact the Academic Dress Co-ordinator to make an appointment.
