University of New England (UNE) Graduation Regalia & Commencement Guide

The University of New England (UNE) holds its conferring of awards ceremonies where graduates don full academic regalia — including the graduation gown, graduation cap (trencher or bonnet/tam), hood or stole, and tassel. UNE’s Academic Dress policy specifies that ceremonial academic dress includes three main elements: cap, gown and hood or stole.

Undergraduate candidates at UNE typically wear the standard black gown for combined diplomas and bachelor degrees, paired with a trencher (square cap) and discipline‑specific colour linings or facings. The “graduation gown colour” for many degrees is the standard black gown with coloured silk lining or facings that indicate the discipline. Tassels, hoods or stoles are selected according to the field of study — for example “peony red (BCC 37)” for Aboriginal Family & Community Counselling Diploma, “peacock blue (BCC 120)” for Business and Commerce degrees. Students are permitted to wear approved honour cords or stoles signifying academic distinction or membership in recognized societies, layered over the gown and under the hood or stole.

For postgraduate master’s and doctoral awardees, academic regalia becomes more elaborate. The gown remains black but the hood or stole is fully lined in university colours and trimmed or faced in the discipline colour. The cap may be a trencher or bonnet/tam depending on the level and convention. Tassels and hoods again reflect the academic field or highest degree. UNE’s official guidance states that doctoral candidates wear gowns with distinctive facings or coloured elements based on the award.

Faculty regalia at UNE adheres to tradition: faculty members wear gowns, hoods and caps corresponding to their highest earned degree. Hood linings display the university’s official colours and the velvet or silk trim signifies their discipline. The academic regalia set for faculty ensures consistent formality and unity across the commencement ceremony.

In summary: when preparing a cap, gown and tassels set for UNE’s conferring ceremony, ensure your graduation gown is styled correctly for your degree level, your graduation cap is included, your tassel/higher hood or stole colour aligns with your discipline, and any honour cord or stole is university‑approved. This full academic regalia package supports a polished presentation consistent with UNE’s ceremony tradition.
