Congratulations Graduates!
The Spring 2023 International Affairs Program recognition graduation ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 5:00pm MDT in the University Memorial Center (UMC) Glenn Miller Ballroom.
Information regarding the University of Colorado Boulder Spring Commencement 2023 as well as a pre-graduation checklist, cap & gown information, and more can be found here.
The IAFS Program ceremony is approximately one hour long and is a regalia (cap & gown) event to celebrate our graduates of fall 2022, spring 2023, and summer 2023. An open house style reception will follow the ceremony and be held on the outdoor terrace of the UMC Glenn Miller Ballroom (ending at 7pm). Family and friends are welcome to attend our ceremony and reception.
- Graduates, please complete the RSVP form here. While it is not required to attend, it helps with our planning purposes to ensure there are enough seats for our graduates, friends, and families.
- We do not require or give tickets for our event. It is open to all attendees.
- All campus parking lots will be open on a “space available” basis for public parking during commencement. Parking on campus, including at parking meters and pay station lots is FREE on the day of Commencement and on all Recognition Ceremony Days. Full details including parking maps and instructions on recommended areas to park and options for shuttles are available on the Commencement Parking and Shuttle Information page.

- The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to providing equal access to individuals with disabilities. If you are planning to attend this event and require accommodations, please contact IAFS@colorado.edu no later than 14 days before the event. We will make all reasonable efforts to fulfill requests submitted after the deadline.
- Doors open at 4:30pm MDT. Please do not enter the ballroom beforehand (even to save seats). This prevents us from set up, thus delaying the ceremony start.
