General Information about Graduation
- Intent to Graduate: Students who believe they are eligible to walk in Commencement following a Fall 2021 or Spring/Summer 2022 completion must have an approved Intent to Graduate document on file. The Spring semester priority deadline to file the Intent to Graduate document was October 1st, 2021. For questions, please contact Student Services at 719.336.1590.
- Order Cap and Gown: The deadline for ordering your cap and gown is March 24th, 2023. You can order through Herff Jones at collegegrad.herffjones.com
- Finalizing Graduation: The completion of the degree/certificate will be confirmed once all spring semester grades are received, and a final degree audit is completed.
- Transcripts: Transcripts that include a “graduation stamp” will be available once all grades are processed, all financial obligations are met, and a final degree audit is completed. The process takes approximately eight weeks.
- Diploma: Graduates: we will be mailing diplomas/certificates, official transcripts, and diploma covers, so please ensure your mailing addresses are correct in the student portal. We invite faculty, staff, and students to use #LopesGrad when sharing commencement/graduation posts on personal social media accounts so we can all join in on the celebration!
