1. Yes, we do at Glamorgan, and have always done so (HNC; HND; CertHE;
DipHE; and postgraduate awards sub-masters). I think you'll find most
ex-polys will be the same, although I know that a number of them hold
separate ceremonies for their diplomates.
2. 'Awards Congregation'
3. Different coloured hood, depending upon award. Full robe and hat
required.
4. Why not give Ede & Ravenscroft a ring? They might be able to help you
gain a national picture, and should be able to offer advice regarding
academic dress
