Grad Upgrade

UNSW Graduation Upgrade From Hire To Purchase

To access this Upgrade, you MUST provide proof of attendance and payment in person graduations from the UNSW Graduations office. Note you are only eligible for discounted purchase price IF you have paid this fee.

From 2017, the graduation hire process has been changed to be included in your grad fee. You must send your  RSVP to UNSW Grad Office and pay the grad fee there.

Once you have paid your graduation fee, you can upgrade from hiring your academic dress to owning it! By upgrading your purchase in store, you will receive your own bachelor or master academic dress set (hood, gown and trencher).

Wishing to upgrade from hiring to purchasing your academic set for graduations?
