Regalia to be worn at graduation must be purchased only at the Barnes and Noble UD Bookstore at 83 East Main St.

By using the Barnes and Noble UD Bookstore exclusively, the University can determine which graduates intend to participate in Commencement exercises. This exclusivity also ensures that the regalia worn at graduation will be uniform.
