*The scarf colour of the dean of the faculty differs from hood colours for specific degrees.

1. For the Bachelors' and Masters' degrees, the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà uses a black hood lined with the University colours, gold with red chevron, and trimmed with the colour indicating the subject of the degree, in a silk-like material. Those persons receiving Diplomas wear the bachelor's hood of the faculty offering the Diploma.

2. For the PhD hood, the body is doctors' scarlet, with a lining of gold and a chevron of scarlet with a three-inch trim at the edge (inside and out) of philosophy blue. The EdD hood conforms to the Intercollegiate Code in shape, size and colour. The trim colour is Education light blue.

3. For Honorary Doctorates of the University of Calgary (LLD) the hoods have a body in gold, lined in doctors' scarlet with a gold chevron. The trim is a one-inch band of white silk edged with a three-inch band of scarlet velvet, the configuration follows that of the PhD hood.

4. The honorary degree Doctor of the University of Calgary (DUC) has been awarded previously. The hood is similar to the LLD hood without the white band.

Headwear

1. The headwear for Bachelors and Masters is the black mortarboard or trencher-type hat.

2. For Doctors, the headwear is a black velvet John Knox cap or birretum.

Gowns

1. Bachelors' and Masters' gowns follow the black gown specified by the North American Intercollegiate Code.

2. Doctorate gowns (PhD) are doctors' scarlet in colour with a gold yoke. The silk trim on the sleeves and front panels is of blue silk. Doctorate gowns (EdD) conform to the Intercollegiate Code in design. The normal gown for the EdD is the black gown with light blue bars on the arm.

3. Honorary Doctorate gowns are gold with a red velvet yoke. Trim on inside and outside of sleeves and the front panels is red velvet.

Deans' and Vice-Presidents' Scarves

The academic deans have scarves in the appropriate faculty colour with an embroidered University coat-of-arms, approximately two and one half by three and one half inches, on the left side. The vice- presidents' scarves are of the scarlet used in the president's gown and trimmed around the edges with the same silver braid.
