Once admitted into a program in the School of Public Affairs, it is important to meet with your academic advisor to develop a plan for completing your program. Degree-seeking students should regularly log in to CU Denver's Degree Audit tool to check your progress toward fulfilling the requirements of your degree.
When you begin your final semester of classes, make an appointment with your academic advisor to verify that you will fulfill the graduation requirements by the end of that semester.
Once degree-seeking students are in your final semester and have verified with your academic advisor that you are on track to graduate, you must apply for graduation through the UCD Access student portal. Once logged in to the portal, navigate to the “Student Center,” then select “Apply for Graduation” and follow the remaining steps. Learn more about graduating from CU Denver.
Participating in the commencement ceremony requires an additional application. Graduating students are not required to participate in the ceremony. Learn more about the application process and deadline for degree-seeking students to participate in the commencement ceremony.
