8 Academic Dress Academic dress is the name for the gown, hood and mortarboard (or cap ) worn. Academic dress must be worn by all Graduands receiving an undergraduate or postgraduate degree and must be worn at all times during the ceremony (excluding the mortarboard, which should be carried when in the main hall) and should be returned to the Gowning Return Desk following the ceremony, unless you have requested and paid for extended hire through Ede & Ravenscroft. Traditionally, the mortarboard (and sometimes the hood) was not presented to a Graduand until the graduation ceremony itself. In honour of this tradition and to acknowledge your Graduand status, Graduands must carry their mortarboards when in the main hall. On the day, you will receive your mortarboard, gown and hood before the ceremony to make the process run more smoothly and to allow Graduands to commemorate the day with photographs in full academic dress. The colour hood you wear depends on your completed programme of study. To ensure you have the correct colour hood, you will need to ensure you provide the full title of your award (i.e. Bachelor of Arts) and validating institution when ordering your academic dress. This information can be found on the Graduation Confirmation task on mynewman. Please be aware that some Students will be exiting with University of Leicester validated awards, which require different academic dress to Newman University. As photographs will last a lifetime we recommend that you wear a white blouse or shirt and dark trousers or skirt, rather than anything that will quickly look out of date. We strongly recommend wearing a blouse/shirt, so that the hood you will wear can be attached to a button to keep it in place. Ede & Ravenscroft do not use or issue safety pins for Health & Safety reasons. Graduands that choose not to wear a shirt or blouse will need to bring safety pins with them so that the hood can be attached to the clothing being worn. The hood is heavy, so attaching it to lightweight fabrics may cause damage. Although your shoes do not appear in any formal photography, please consider the length of gown and (unless alternative access is requested) the steps to the stage, when choosing your footwear. Formal dress may be worn by members of uniformed professions or services and religious orders. Formal national dress is also permitted. Graduation Handbook

The University is aware that some Graduands may be experiencing severe financial hardship. Together with Ede & Ravenscroft Ltd, Newman offers a small number of bursaries for those Graduands unable to attend due to severe financial hardship. If you wish to apply for one of the bursaries, please contact Assessment & Graduation by Thursday 6 October What name/date will appear on my award certificate? The name that appears on your award certificate will be the full name on your student record (including any middle names) at the time of printing.

Your name (first and surname only) will be announced as you cross the stage to receive your award, will be listed in the programme provided on the day and in that day s edition of the Birmingham Mail. The date that appears on the award certificate will be the date of this year's Graduation Ceremonies, rather than the date your award was confirmed by the Programme Assessment Boards (i.e. the date that appears on your final academic transcript). The date of Graduation is the date your award is formally conferred by the institution and you officially become a 'Graduate' of Newman University.

Can children attend the ceremony? Yes. For younger children it is worth considering how long the ceremony will last. We advise Graduands and guests to arrive as early as possible. The ceremony itself will last approximately 2 hours. Therefore, children under the age of 10 years may find the ceremony long. As this is a special day, we ask that any restless children are taken out of the auditorium during the ceremony and that children are not left unaccompanied at any time.
