ACADEMIC DRESS
Correct academical dress must be worn at the Matriculation ceremony, when sitting
University examinations, and when taking a degree. Academical dress consists of ‘subfusc’
clothing which consists of:
(1)
one of the following:
(a) a dark suit with dark socks
(b) a dark skirt with black tights or stockings
(c) dark trousers with dark socks
(2)
dark coat if required
(3)
black shoes
(4)
plain white collared shirt or blouse
(5)
a black bow tie or a white bow tie or a full-length black tie or a black ribbon
(6)
the appropriate gown and a mortar board or soft-cap
Gowns should be worn as a matter of courtesy when calling formally on the President, and
are required at President’s Collections. They are worn at formal Hall and at Guest Nights.
Undergraduates wear Commoners’ gowns or, if they are elected Demies or Scholars, Scholars’
gowns. Organ Scholars and Academical Clerks wear Scholars’ gowns.
Graduates wear the Oxford Advanced Students’ gown. Second BA students wear
Commoners’ gowns, unless they have an Oxford undergraduate degree or a BA by
incorporation, in which case they wear the Oxford Advanced Students’ gown.
You are not able to wear a gown from another university. Students with a Cambridge
University gown may wear this to the Matriculation ceremony but not to any other events.
Following is an order form to enable you to pre-order your academic dress.

Academic Dress
All undergraduates are required to wear a gown on several occasions during their time at Oxford. This
is known as ‘subfusc’. To make life easier the JCR have an arrangement with Walter’s of Oxford, a
top quality academic dress suppliers with 140 years of experience. If you buy a cap and gown together
you get a discount, as well as the opportunity to get discounts on other products like bow ties and
college hoodies. What’s more, the bill will be added to your batells, the college account that you don’t
settle until the following term! Just fill in this form and send it back to College before you come up,
and your academic dress will be ready and waiting for you upon arrival in October.
