All academic regalia, including mortarboard or tam, gown, tassels and hoods, can be purchased through the KU Bookstore. KU Bookstores on all campuses carry academic attire.

Graduates from each of the 13 schools and college line up along Memorial Drive. Please refer to the “MAP” to determine which side of the Memorial Campanile your school/college is listed.

This is also good information to share with your family, friends or guests if they choose to line the sidewalks leading to Memorial Stadium.

When the procession begins, graduates should follow the University Marshal (dressed in blue ceremonial regalia) instructions through the Memorial Campanile, down the Hill, into Memorial Stadium, through the photo tents, and down the center of the football field to the seating area on the west side. 

Graduates are encouraged participate in the entire Commencement ceremony, but if a graduate chooses to leave early, please go through the entire walk and then leave. Departing at any other point of the procession causes a disruption for other graduates.

Alma Mater (Crimson and the Blue)

Far above the golden valley
Glorious to view,
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Towering toward the blue.

Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail to old KU.

Far above the distant humming
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven,
Looks she proudly down.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true,
We will ever sing her praises,
Hail to old KU.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
