Graduation Application
All specialist students must apply for graduation www.unco.edu/grad/forms/pdfs/MastersAndSpecialistGraduationApplication.pdf no later than the end of the semester preceding the semester that a student plans to graduate. The schedule of deadlines for the Graduate School can be found at www.unco.edu/grad/forms/deadlines.html. The student has the responsibility for determining that the application has been filed with the Graduate School. The Graduate School will not process a graduation application that is not signed by the student and program advisor.
If the student does not complete all requirements for the degree and, therefore, does not graduate at the end of the proposed semester, the application will be placed in the deferred file. The student must give written notice to the Graduate School when he/she wishes to appear again on the tentative list of graduates.
All graduating students are encouraged to attend graduation. Those students participating in the graduation ceremony are required to wear appropriate academic regalia. Diplomas are not issued at the graduation ceremony. All Graduate students must complete a Diploma Request Card at www.unco.edu/grad/forms/gradCard.asp. The diploma will be mailed to the address provided by the student on the Diploma Request Card. Failure to provide a current mailing address could result in a delay in receipt of the diploma. No diploma will be issued until all requirements for graduation have been met.
