The academic hood is the symbol of admission to the community of scholars. In each of its forms (bachelor, master, doctor) it symbolizes a level of academic achievement and is appropriately worn only by those who have reached that level.
At Saint Mary's, hoods are formally presented by the department or program in which a student has completed the major program of study. Recognition is also given to students' achievements and contributions.
