Gold Cords for International Graduates

If you will graduate in spring 2024, you may pick up a gold cord to wear at commencement. The gold cord represents the international student population at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Cords are available for pick-up between April 1 and May 9 at the ISSS front desk. You must bring your Buff One card. Only one cord will be given per person.

  • A cord denotes achievement or involvement within the university, be it academic, sports, professional organization, or being a member of a particular campus group. The cord is worn over the shoulders (see image). Students wear their cords at graduation events and official commencement ceremonies.
