To collect your gown, please go to the Corn Exchange (Medway) or the Cathedral lodge hotel (Canterbury) on the day of your graduation and follow the directions.
Please bring your booking reference with you to collect the gown. To avoid crowding only the graduands are allowed into the gowning room.
Gown return will close at 5pm in the Corn Exchange (Medway) and 9.30pm in the Cathedral lodge (Canterbury)
If you did not order your gown by Sunday 18th June, the Graduate Gowning Company may be able to accommodate you on the day but this should not be guaranteed. Please allow extra time at gowning as you will need to pay on the day.
You need to know:
- your height
- your head size (circumference round your head, approximately 2cm above your ears)
