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

1. For the Bachelors' and Masters' degrees, the University of Calgary 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.
