Academic regalia
When do I book my regalia?
Book your academic regalia through the GFP regalia portal as instructed at the end of the registration process if you have registered to attend a ceremony at Curtin Bentley, Kalgoorlie or Singapore Campus.
Graduates who register to attend a ceremony at Curtin Malaysia, Mauritius and Dubai will be contacted by each campus closer to the ceremony date and advised how to book regalia.
If attending your ceremony, you must wear approved Curtin academic regalia. After you have completed your graduation online registration, you can proceed to order your regalia (and electronic tickets) online.
How to order your regalia
You can order your regalia once you have completed your online graduation registration via the graduations channel in OASIS. You will be directed to the GFP Graduations website to order your regalia during the registration process. It is important that you register to attend your ceremony before you book your regalia.
Regalia for graduates attending a ceremony in Perth, Kalgoorlie or Singapore will be directed to hire or purchase Curtin regalia from our official provider GFP Graduations. Information regarding regalia hire or purchase for ceremonies at all other locations will be provided by your campus.
If you are not attending your ceremony and would like to purchase or hire regalia, or for more information please contact GFP Graduations.
Information about the location, date and time you can collect your regalia will be sent to via Official Communication in OASIS after the registration period closes.
I have my own regalia
When you register to attend a ceremony for graduation you will be directed to order your regalia. Select ‘own’ against each regalia item you have. If the degree you have completed is a higher level or in another discipline you will need to purchase a new sash.
Check with our regalia supplier GFP Graduations for more information or refer to the chart below to find out which colour your sash is required for your discipline.
