Graduation
Degrees and majors are approved through the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Students may not pursue both an undergraduate and a graduate degree program simultaneously without prior approval from both the Office of the Registrar and the Graduate School.
Application for Graduation
Students who intend to graduate must apply for graduation through the Graduate School. A $50.00 non-refundable graduation application fee will only be charged one time per degree and is applied to a student’s account.
To apply:
Retroactive Degree Conferral
Students should apply for graduation in the term in which they expect to complete their degree requirements. Students who do not apply for graduation will not have their degree conferred.
Students who did not apply for graduation in the term in which they completed their requirements must submit a Retroactive Degree Request form to the Office of the Registrar to request that their degree be conferred. The Office of the Registrar, in consultation with the Provost's Office, will verify whether all degree requirements were met.
If the request is approved, the degree will be conferred retroactively using the conferral date from the term when the last degree requirement was completed. An annotation will be included on the student's transcript to reflect when the retroactive degree conferral date was recorded.
The current graduation application fee will be assessed to the student's account.
