Students must purchase academic regalia at the University of Delaware Bookstore in the Perkins Student Center May 12–May 17, 2008. The University Bookstore is the only place at which regalia may be obtained, as it is the only means by which the University gets notice of the student's intention to participate. Anyone having noncompliant regalia will not be permitted to participate.
