Winter Ceremony

Caps and Gowns

The university commencement ceremony is an academic ceremony, therefore all participants must wear traditional CU academic regalia.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate Students are required to purchase regalia for the ceremony from the CU Book Store, located in the UMC, during regular business hours, or 7:30 a.m. on the morning of the ceremony.

Regalia will be available for purchase at the CU Book Store in the lower level at Customer Service beginning Monday October 26, 2009. The cost to purchase the regalia set which includes the gown, cap and degree tassel is $34.95 (plus tax). Regalia is non-returnable once it is purchased. Other souvenir packages are available, please visit the store or website for details. Cash, check, or credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express) are accepted. For more information, call 303-492-6411 or 800-255-9168 ext. 4 or go to www.cubookstore.com.
