Congratulations, UNISA graduate! After all those late-night study sessions and assignments, your big day is finally approaching. One of the most important things on your graduation checklist is sorting out your academic regalia – and we’re here to make that process as simple as possible.
Understanding UNISA Graduation Gown Requirements
UNISA has specific requirements for graduation attire depending on your qualification level. Whether you’re graduating with a certificate, diploma, bachelor’s degree, honours, master’s, or doctorate, you’ll need the correct gown, hood, and mortarboard combination.
The good news is that you don’t need to buy these items outright. Hiring your graduation gown is the most affordable and practical option, especially since you’ll likely only wear it once. At MD Gowns, we stock the correct regalia for all UNISA qualifications and faculties.
Steps to Hire Your UNISA Graduation Gown
Getting your gown sorted is easier than you might think. Here’s what you need to do:
- Confirm your ceremony date and venue – UNISA holds graduations at various locations across South Africa
- Know your qualification – This determines the hood colour and gown style you’ll need
- Take your measurements – Your height is the main factor for gown sizing
- Place your order early – We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks before your ceremony
- Arrange collection or delivery – We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa
When you hire from MD Gowns, your gown arrives freshly cleaned and hygienically pressed, ready for your special day.
Why Hire Instead of Buy?
Hiring your graduation gown makes sense for most students. It’s significantly cheaper than buying, you don’t need to worry about storage afterwards, and you’ll receive quality regalia that looks perfect in your photos.
We offer the lowest prices guaranteed in South Africa, and our gowns are maintained to the highest standards. For those graduating with a PhD or wanting to keep their regalia as a keepsake, we also offer gowns for sale.
Complete Your Graduation Look
Beyond the gown, hood, and mortarboard, there are other items that can complete your graduation day look. We also stock tassels, neckbands, graduation flowers, and even offer graduation makeup recommendations to help you look your absolute best.
