Marshal Information

Volunteer as a Marshal 

We appreciate everyone who joins us to celebrate our graduating Buffs. A successful commencement depends on volunteer marshals like you. The 2024 Commencement ceremony will take place Thursday, May 9. The traditional procession from Norlin Quadrangle will begin at 8 a.m., and the commencement ceremony takes place in Folsom Field starting at 8:30 a.m. 

Marshal Sign-Up Form 

Marshal Regalia

Marshals wear regalia and a marshal stole to identify them as volunteers who can assist students and guests during the commencement ceremony. Please by March 24, 2024. Marshals will pick up regalia at the Marshal's Luncheon. 

Regalia Returns

After the ceremony, please return your regalia to Balch Fieldhouse. The CU Book Store will not accept rental returns. If you do not return rental apparel (gown, hood and cap) after you use it, you might have to pay for the full replacement value.

The marshal’s luncheon is scheduled for noon–2 p.m. Monday, May 6, 2024, in the UMC Glenn Miller Ballroom. You need to RSVP only if you are unable to attend.
