Borrow Academic Dress from Grenfell Campus for Photos

This service is intended for photography purposes only, is available year-round and is free of charge. The service includes one gown, one hood (based on the degree you are graduating with) and one mortarboard cap. We only have hoods for degrees that are obtained from Grenfell Campus.

*Please Note: we have a limited number of Academic Dress (Gowns, Hoods, and Caps) on-site. Therefore, we ask that you request your items at least 2 weeks in advance, so you can be advised of the availability of your items for the date required*

Due to the number of ongoing requests, all academic dress is due back within 2-3 business days, and in the same condition as it was received. Note: if you happen to get something on the hood (makeup, dirt, etc.), please do not wash the hood as they are meant to be dry-clean only.

Gowns are unavailable for borrowing during the week of May 6-22. 

If you completed your degree at St. John’s campus and require a hood for a degree obtained there; please contact the Bookstore in St. John’s at 709-864-8084 to reserve your academic dress. 

As there are limited gowns available, you can also rent your items via Gaspard on-line at https://www.gaspard.ca/. Their Contact info is: 1-800-380-8214.

If you wish to request an academic dress, or have any specific questions, please contact Cindy Andrews at: w35cama@mun.ca.
