A few highlights:
With finals week, commencement, and summer approaching, the CU Boulder campus is preparing to follow different building access protocols. Remember to carry your Buff OneCard, Buffs!
Building protocol will be largely similar to fall and spring semesters:
If you experience problems with accessing a building with your Buff OneCard, you can contact Access Services 303-492-6609 during regular business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours, you can contact the Operations Control Center at 303-492-5522 or occ@colorado.edu.
University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and Health and Wellness Services publish their respective hours on their websites.
At the commencement ceremony, you will continue an age-old tradition by wearing the same caps, gowns, cords and hoods as generations of Buffs before you.
If you’re graduating with your bachelor’s degree, you will wear a black gown, a black cap and a colored tassel indicating your field of study.
You can purchase your regalia from the CU Book Store online or in person.
If you’re graduating with your master’s or doctoral degree, you will wear a black gown and a hood lined with velvet trim denoting your field of study. Master’s students will wear a mortarboard cap and a black tassel. Doctoral students will wear a tam and a gold tassel.
The deadline to order regalia online has passed, and any online orders placed will not arrive in time for our ceremonies. Jostens will be on-site with a limited supply of graduate regalia available for purchase in Balch Fieldhouse during the below dates/times:
Looking to add some color to go with your graduation gown? Different colored cords and stoles are worn to symbolize participation in campus activities and groups, and also often represent academic honors, military service and specific academic fields. Learn more.
