How to
order your robes
In order to graduate, you must wear full academic dress to
the ceremony (gown, hood and cap). You
can hire or buy your academic robes from J Wippell and Company, the official
gown suppliers for the University of Plymouth, and not from any other supplier. www.wippellgownhire.co.uk Telephone: +44 1392 254234
The online ordering system will be open from and
close.
To order your robes, you will need the following details:
- your
name and student number
- your
height (from head to floor)
- your
head circumference (measure 1 inch above your eyebrows)
- your
payment card details.
Note: Unfortunately we are aware of a scam
involving a company falsely claiming to offer a gowning service and taking
payment but not providing the gown(s). This company were advertising on
Facebook.
