The Steinke hood was designed for the same purpose as the SEIE, but did not include thermal insulation or a life raft. It could not protect submariners from hypothermia and weather exposure, or provide crew visibility at the surface, as the SEIE can. [5] As a new student, you’ll need to wear sub fusc under your gown for events such as matriculations, degree ceremonies, and end-of-year exams, as well as for Formal Hall dinners, although the exact requirements may vary by college. The final time you will be required to wear full sub fusc is for your degree ceremony. During the ceremony you may change your academic gown and hood; for example, if you are graduating with your Bachelors, or Undergraduate Masters you will start by wearing your BA gown and then a hood will be added at a later stage, as part of the ceremony. You will be told all of this by your college beforehand, so don’t be alarmed! When you are inside you are required to carry your mortar board; when you are outside you may wear it. The exciting moment to finish off 3 years of study is the celebratory toss into the air! What are the variations on sub fusc requirements?

There are other exams you will need to wear full sub fusc for, such as music recitals, oral exams/ vivas and presentations. For these events you will have to wear a commoners’ gown even if you are a scholar! Having said that, you will be allowed to remove your gown or tie for the actual exam, but you must wear full sub fusc to and from the exam or you will not be allowed to sit it! The SEIE is designed to be a last resort in the event of a submarine emergency at sea. Rescue with a submarine rescue vehicle, which connects directly to a submarine's escape hatch, is still the preferred option, as it allows crew members to avoid direct exposure to cold water and high pressure at depth. If a rescue vehicle is not available or cannot connect to a sunken submarine, the crew can escape using the SEIE. [3] Weathersby, PK; Survanshi, SS; Parker, EC; Temple, DJ; Toner, CB (1999).

There are exceptions to the rules of which gown should be worn; for example, if you are an organ scholar or get a distinction in Preliminaries at the end of your first year, then you would be entitled to wear a scholars’ gown. This is a more traditional gown – it has sleeves and is knee length. Latson, Gary W; Flynn, Edward T (1999). "Use of Emergency Evacuation Hyperbaric Stretcher (EEHS) in Submarine Escape and Rescue".

The “undergraduate gown” or “commoners’ gown,” is for undergraduate students. The gown doesn’t have sleeves and will fall to around your hip. The postgraduate gown also has no sleeves and should finish at the knee. Both these gowns should be worn open at the front. The first time you will probably be required to wear it is at your matriculation ceremony, at the end of the first week in your first Michaelmas term. This is the formal process of entering the university and filing your intent to attend! You will need to wear full sub fusc, including your gown and carry your mortar board. Sub fusc can be hired but we recommend you buy it as it will need to be worn on multiple occasions. When do I need to wear it?
