Master Regalia
Authentically styled, a truly stately gown with long flowing lines is cut
comfortably full. The distinguishing feature of the Master gown is
sleeves. It drape freely to the wrist extending back, in the classic
crescent shape, below the knee. Twin front panels and wide pleats parallel
the zipper closure, the gown is to be worn closed. Precision fluting
around the shoulders and back create smooth, graceful folds and flows. The
hood is of the same material as the gown. It is lined with the official
color of the conferring degree with velvet border that indicates the
degree. Master Regalia completes with a traditional mortarboard and a
black tassel. It should be worn flat on the head with the tassel hanging
on the right.

How to wear the Academic Hood
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 drapped over the shoulders and down the
back.Look for a loop or a 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. Additional Guidance on the Regalia
