University of Queensland

Previous to the current highly simplified colour coding system, a more complex course based colour system existed. These revisions took place during 1998 with the changes being visible in the graduating classes of 1999.

However with the disbanding of the Gatton council circa-2005 their dress regulations have passed into university history.
