Students
Forever Buffs
You are a Forever Buff! You are part of a family with 240,000 CU Boulder alumni and 30,000 students who engage, contribute and celebrate CU.
Be sure to pick up your legacy cord if you have a family member who also graduated from CU. As part of the Forever Buffs initiative, the CU-Boulder Alumni Association has started a new tradition by providing “legacy cords” to graduating students whose family members are CU alumni. The black and gold cords are worn with your cap and gown to recognize your tie to a CU legacy family. You can pick up your free legacy cord April 30 – May 10 at the Koenig Alumni Center and at the Herd’s Senior Sendoff on May 3 from 4 – 8, also at the Koenig Alumni Center.

Standard graduation announcements may be purchased starting two months prior to commencement at the CU Bookstore or by calling 303-492-6411 or 800-255-9168.

Stole of Gratitude
The graduation stole is a great way to say thank you to that special person who gave you support and guidance throughout your college career. One dollar for each stole sold goes back to the Senior Class. Graduation stoles are available at the CU Book Store.
Grad Fair
Grad Fair is CU’s official “one-stop” source for graduation information, services and products, and promises “no hassle for a tassel” for graduates while they save time and money and begin their commencement celebration.
