Answering without reading the post, I'd assume it was short for academic dress (& would be plural). Not that I've ever used it, but in Gaudy Night I'm pretty sure Harriet reflects on seeing someone in 'full academicals'. But I could be wrong!

And reading the post I see that is a correct meaning. It is fairly old-fashioned, I think - I was around Oxford in the late 80s and don't remember coming across it.
