Public Health Guidance – All commencement events will be held in accordance with applicable campus policies and public health guidelines with the goal of providing a safe and meaningful experience for all.  While it is possible public health requirements may shift between now and December, I have listed below a few aspects to keep in mind as you are planning your events:

• Masks are currently optional on the CU Boulder campus, including in indoor, publicly accessible spaces.  Campus encourages those who prefer to continue wearing masks to do so; the Public Health Office has compiled helpful guidance as well as FAQs about the campus mask guidance.
• Vaccines are not required for visitors to campus or for any vendor/service provider your unit may hire to work your event.  Only CU Boulder faculty, staff and students have the vaccine and booster requirements. 

Note – Parking

• Parking Overview – 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 (December 21 and 22). 

Additional information will be provided at a later date as we receive it.
