Academic Hoods
Academic hoods are a type of graduation attire or academic regalia. They form part of the academic dress that is worn during a graduation ceremony. The hood is worn over the graduation gown and is a constituent of complete academic regalia that is typically seen during graduation ceremonies. The hoods have are adorned with velvet fabric that is used to represent the kind of certification that one has acquired.The
academic hoods
also have lining colors, which are used to represent the school or department in which the qualification was earned. These hoods vary depending on height, length, width and the type of velvet lining. Their difference represents whether the type of qualification achieved is a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree or a Doctorate. The hood can be customized in two ways; either the ‘deluxe’ quality that is made of a superior fabric or velvet and lining or the ’souvenir’ that is an economical hood. The best academic hoods for members of faculty are the deluxe because they will be worn frequently at numerous graduation ceremonies. The souvenir is suitable for the students who are graduating because they are cheaper and they are not worn frequently, unlike the faculty members.
