Chip Appearance Request Form 2026-27
The University of Colorado Spirit Program is very involved in the community of Boulder and the greater metro area appearing at charitable/non-profit and private events throughout the year. The Spirit Program is committed to sharing the pride of CU Athletics with the community.
If you would like to request CHIP for your event, please review the policies and fill out the form below.
- All requests must be made via this online form and are considered on a first come first served basis.
- Completion of this form does not guarantee the fulfillment of the request.
- The Spirit Program is comprised of students and appearance availability is subject to their class and work schedule. Due to the changing nature of schedules, we encourage requests to be submitted at least 2 but not more than 8 weeks prior to the event. We understand that things do come up and will accept last minute requests but please note they may be hard to fill.
- After submission, please allow one week for us to respond to your request. You will receive an e-mail from CUBuffsSpirit@colorado.edu with an approval, denial, or a follow up with more questions.
