毕业服怎么订¶
Some students asked Ten Shengmiao about how to order graduation gowns for UK graduation ceremonies and foreign graduation gowns.
Renting: Renting is usually done through school-designated agencies, with prices starting from £50 and above. It is necessary to make advance reservations, and the gown is typically collected on the day of the graduation ceremony. Each school has different graduation gowns, including those for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. Some may even have variations based on specific majors, resulting in over 20 different colors for graduation gowns.
Purchasing: Purchasing a graduation gown costs approximately £150 or more. Similar to renting, advance reservations are required, but you can receive the gown ahead of time. This option allows you to own your own graduation gown, and you may even have the option to customize it with embroidered names. Some schools may recommend or provide a free set of gowns to students.
Mandatory Purchase: In certain schools, specific programs or majors require students to purchase a particular type of bachelor's gown. These gowns can only be ordered internally through the school's designated channels, arranged by the school itself.
When it comes to the size of graduation gowns, the agencies will clearly indicate the sizes available. Generally, the sizes are fixed, except for customized gowns. For individuals with a height ranging from 155 to 162 cm, the recommended size is usually "S" or size 45. It is advised that you carefully check the size of the graduation gown and measure your own specific measurements to determine whether to rent or purchase based on your actual needs.
As for the procedures and requirements during the graduation ceremony, they vary from school to school. Some involve handshakes, while others may include the use of a ceremonial staff or lightly tapping the student's cap or another location with an honor book. For example, at the University of Cambridge in the UK, graduates are required to kneel and receive their degrees according to the Trinitarian Formula. However, if kneeling is not possible due to religious or other reasons, a written application must be submitted in advance and approved to be exempt from kneeling.
Reminder: Most schools have had fixed graduation gown designs for many years, but changes can occur at any time due to school redesigns or other factors. Therefore, it is important to follow the specific graduation gown requirements provided by your school at the time.
