Faculty Academic Hoods for University Commencement

Cap and Gown Outlet supplies faculty academic hoods for professors, lecturers, deans, administrators, academic leaders, colleges, universities and educational organizations across the United States. This collection includes standalone Classic, Deluxe and Custom faculty hood options for educators who need to complete, replace or separately configure part of their academic regalia for commencement, convocations, faculty processions and other formal academic ceremonies.

Choose the Right Faculty Academic Hood

Faculty members may wear academic hoods associated with their earned degree, academic discipline and degree-granting institution. Hood designs can incorporate different colors and components, including velvet trim, lining and chevrons. Because academic regalia traditions and ceremony requirements can vary, confirm the appropriate hood style and color configuration before ordering rather than selecting a hood based only on your current department or university colors.

Classic, Deluxe & Custom Faculty Hood Options

This collection includes Classic and Deluxe Faculty Graduation Hoods as well as a Custom Faculty Graduation Hood for customers who need additional configuration choices. Depending on the selected product, available options can include velvet or degree color, hood shell color, lining, chevron and piping. Compare the individual product specifications and available selections before choosing the hood appropriate for your academic attire.

Faculty Hood Colors, Degree & Institution

Different parts of an academic hood can communicate different information about academic dress. Velvet trim may be associated with an academic discipline, while hood lining and chevrons may use colors associated with the degree-granting institution. However, the correct configuration should not be determined from a major or school colors alone. Use the available color information as a reference and verify the required degree, discipline, institutional colors and hood specifications before purchasing.

Individual, Custom & Institutional Faculty Hood Orders

Individual faculty members can purchase a standalone academic hood to coordinate with existing gowns and headwear, while colleges, universities, academic departments and educational organizations can coordinate multiple hoods for faculty groups. For institutional orders involving faculty members with different earned degrees or degree-granting institutions, confirm the appropriate hood configuration for each wearer before ordering.

Faculty members who also need a gown, headwear or tassel can explore our Faculty Cap and Gown Packages for additional academic regalia combinations. Cap and Gown Outlet is an independent academic regalia supplier and does not imply that a particular hood is approved, required or officially affiliated with a college or university unless specifically stated.
