 ### Traditional Regalia

OCAD University respects the wishes of Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) graduands and faculty who choose to wear traditional regalia to a convocation ceremony. All First Nations, Inuit and Métis graduands are welcome to wear traditional regalia in place of an academic gown and do not have to rent a gown or pay the rental fee for the gown. This has been included in the convocation policies.
