Academic regalia
If attending your ceremony, you must wear approved Curtin academic regalia. After you have completed your graduation online registration, you can proceed to order your regalia (and electronic tickets) online.
I have my own regalia
When you register to attend a ceremony for graduation you will be directed to order your regalia. Select ‘own’ against each regalia item you have. If the degree you have completed is a higher level or in another discipline you will need to purchase a new sash.
Check with our regalia supplier GFP Graduations for more information or refer to the chart below to find out which colour your sash is required for your discipline.
