Since commencement is a formal affair in which the University honors its students, it is considered inappropriate for food or alcoholic beverages to be present. Please do not spoil the commencement exercises for others. The University of Denver's designated academic regalia is required of all graduates participating in the Commencement exercises. Students are encouraged to acquire their regalia on Tuesday, August 8. Checks or charge cards will not be accepted.
Graduates are welcome to keep their mortarboards and tassels as souvenirs.
Persons interested in purchasing regalia, please contact the Willsie Company representative, Gary Richard at 303.752.4271. The color of the tassel is gold for Doctoral students and black for Master students. The colors in the lining of the hood identify the institution awarding the degree. Those of the University of Denver are crimson and gold. Orders or questions concerning these items should be directed to the Bookstore staff at 303.871.3251.
