ceremony.
How
to wear the Academic Hood (MNSc Students Only)
Look for a loop
or hook attached to the front of the hood that should be fastened to
the gown so that it does not press on the front of the wearer’s
neck. To
expose the satin lining in the back, starting at the middle-back level,
turn the free edge of the velvet border, below the shoulders, with the
fingertips out to the sides and under in a small “inside out” maneuver.
This will cause the satin lining to roll into view. Secure the cord at
the upper back to both buttons found in the lining to keep the hood from
spreading apart in the back and falling off the shoulders. |
The
hood is to
be placed over the gown around the neck and shoulders so that the
larger portion with the satin colors hangs down the wearer’s back.
The velvet border is worn facing out, with the velvet positioned as
the upper band on the hood (under the chin) and the narrow satin
trim positioned as the lower band. Smooth the velvet band and satin
trim into place as the hood is draped over the shoulders and down
the back.
