To whom it may concern,

I have reviewed the publicly available information on the university webpage titled "Academic Dress" (https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/d...). Nevertheless , some details seem to be unclear.

I would appreciate the information as follows:

1. Are undergraduates allowed to wear mortar boards outdoors on the matriculation day?
2. Is there a regulation that prohibits undergraduates from wearing mortar boards, even in outdoor settings, until their graduation?

Yours faithfully,
Henry Lockwood
