Winter 26 | Spring 27 - Graduation Application Status: Open
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO APPLY?
Applications are required for all graduating students. It is also the student's responsibility to complete their degree requirement obligations (32-units w/met residency + gen-Eds + major(s) = ready for degree conferral review). By completing a graduation application, students are confirming their intentions to graduate; opting in/out of ceremony participation and announcements; and initiating a review of their record by the registrar's office to be certified for a degree. Responses to applications are shared with the following stakeholders: registrar, advisors, department chairs, college events.
GRAD DEADLINES & WHAT’S NEXT
- UPON DEADLINE CLOSE: A finalized applicant list will be shared with college events for participation eligibility to Winter celebration
- All degree requirements must be completed by the end of Block 4 (including any I or IP pending grades) for degree conferral.

Marching Only Eligibility Conditions (an option for Commencement participation only for those who fall short in the Spring)
Students must meet all degree requirements by end of Block 8 to graduate and receive a degree at Spring Commencement. Degree requirements include: major, general education, and 32-unit w/residency. Students who are within their final two units of their degree requirements by end of Block 8 and want to participate at Commencement qualify as "Marching Only" participants at the ceremony. Marching Only participants are not degree holders until the conferral period following the semester in which they complete their remaining requirements. If you think you’ll fall in this category, please apply and reach out to the Registrar's office so that we can discuss a marching only option that keeps you on the list for the Commencement ceremony.

Wrapping up your final semester?

Upon deadline, a list of applicants will be shared with college events for participation eligibility to Winter Celebration and requirement completion reviews begins; all degree requirements must be completed by the end of Block 4 (including any I or IP pending grades) for official degree conferral consideration which will take place over Block 5.

What Is A "Temporary" Registration?
Temporary registrations are not official and bear 0.00 credit. Waitlists and Preregistration placeholder courses, GS391 and GS392 are considered temporary registrations. Because these are not official registrations, when final class rosters are distributed to faculty before the new block begins, temporary registrations are dropped. Students who had a temporary registration for the new block are no longer considered enrolled and must update their registration on Days 1 and 2 of the new block by using Add/Drop and an instructor's COI PIN (or through one of the applications linked below). Learn more about registration deadlines.
If you are on a waitlist and no longer want to be, please email your request to registrar@coloradocollege.edu before the final rosters are distributed. A waitlisted course is considered your preferred course choice. You will be moved into the vacated seat and automatically dropped from your current course registration should a seat open to you ahead of the block.
If you are registered in a GS391, this Preregistration placeholder MUST be replaced with an approved independent study or thesis course. Please make sure to replace any “GS391, PLACEHOLDER ONLY (Senior Thesis/Ind. Study)” on your schedule by completing one of the following:
Some departments handle the creation/assignment of independent blocks for their majors directly (i.e. Economics, Sociology, etc.) If you are a declared student in such a department, please make sure to follow the department's instructions on how to correctly register for your thesis and/or independent research block.Transferring Credit Into Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ?
- Review Transfer Credit Guidelines for more information and additional resources
- Review Academic Residence Requirements (see section VII under GenEds / section VIII under All-College)
When Is Add/Drop Disabled?
Course adds are temporarily disabled over the weekend prior to the start of a new block. Adding a course using Add/Drop is prevented between the time when final rosters are sent to professors on Friday until the start of the new block on Monday. This is to allow all students and faculty time to plan for the upcoming block. Once a new block begins, "Adds" require the COI PIN (consent of instructor pin) to be used in the Add/Drop registration application, on Days 1 and 2 of block.
What qualifies as an "Add"?
- getting in off of a waitlist
- correcting a Preregistration placeholder
- swapping classes
- adding new classes
Students are required to use the online registration application to update their registration. Add/Drop is linked to Canvas and will update access to a Canvas page based on the registered course. Once a new block begins (after finalized rosters and finishing waitlists are distributed) if a registration "add" results in a course registration "drop" from your schedule, Add/Drop sends a drop notification on the student's behalf to the professor of the "dropped" course.
