Spring Ceremony

Academic Regalia

The university commencement ceremony is an academic ceremony;

therefore all participants must wear traditional CU academic regalia.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduates are required to purchase regalia for the ceremony from the CU Book Store, located in the lower level of the UMC. The Book Store is open Monday-Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (hours may vary due to holidays and campus events).

Regalia may be purchased throughout the spring semester starting at the Grad Fair March 17th and 18th, 2008 from 10am-3pm in the Glenn Miller Ballroom. After the Grad Fair regalia will be available for purchase in the Book Store at the cashiers in the lower level. For regalia pricing please visit the Book Store or visit the website at www.cubookstore.com. Other souvenir regalia packages are available for purchase. Cash, check, or credit cards are accepted. The Book Store will open the morning of the ceremony at 7:30 a.m. For more information call 303-492-6411 or 800-255-9168 ext. 4, or go to www.cubookstore.com.
