The Graduation Applications for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 will open at the end of Block 2.
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.

Applications for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 will be made available at the end of Block 2. A successful candidate will have completed the items listed below ahead of their graduation review.
- Applied to Graduate (when applications open, apply by the respective deadlines)
- Declared major(s) and potential minor(s)
- Scheduled/Completed a graduation review with advisor(s).
-
Proofed Stellic record for completion with advisor(s)! Do not ignore (red) marks as they indicate something is missing. Students should work with their advisor(s) and department chair to understand why.
- If a course should be counting in your progress on Stellic, an exception must be made.
- All requirements should reflect either completed (green) or registered to be completed (yellow) by end of Block 4 (for Winter Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads) to remain eligible for graduation.
- Students who have an incomplete Stellic record should anticipate email outreach from the Registrar to verify accuracy, resolve potential concerns, and/or to discuss options moving forward. Please do not ignore communication outreach from the Registrar’s Office as this could jeopardize an ability to resolve an issue that keeps you from graduating on time.
- Final (official) transcripts/reports for previously pending/missing transfer work has been submitted to the Registrar's Office.
- Finish remaining requirements! This includes any remaining “IP” or “I” marks on their transcript by end of Block 4 (for Fall Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads).
- If there is missing transfer credit on your student's record, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar’s Office ASAP.

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 particpants 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.

Fall Term Check-In (TCI): Aug 17 - Sep 18
<<campus student action item>>
Complete Fall Term Check-In to report to campus and remain active for the term
WHEN | HOW | WHERE TO CHECK IN FOR THE TERM:
- OPEN PERIOD: Aug 17 - Sep 18 (end of day)
- REPORTING PORTAL: Banner SSB, Student Menu (SSB)
HOW TO: Term Check-In will be red-flagged for attention until the deadline closes. Follow the Check-In screen prompts until the end. In TCI, students will have the opportunity to review their obligations, update their current information incuding preferred name, addresses, FERPA authorization, and more! Once completed, simply close the browser tab and refresh!
- A MISSING/INCOMPLETE Student menu will have restrictive access (<10 items)
- A COMPLETED/INELIGIBLE Student menu will have full access (10+ items)
Full access is granted instantly upon completion; red flag will remain.
WHOSE EXEMPT? Students on an approved leave from campus for the full semester are not required to report-in for this check-in period (i.e., registered in NON CC-led courses, personal leave, etc.)
REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW | WHAT IS TERM CHECK-IN (TCI)?
Term Check-In (TCI) is a required reporting process that both the students and the college must complete over the beginning block of each fall and spring semester. Students who are taking courses led by CC-faculty on/off campus for any blocks tied to the semester will "report in" by completing a guided, self-paced form through the Term Check-In portal (SSB). The Registrar's Office facilitates this process and will begin emailing reminders to expected students who have missing or incomplete check-ins throughout the subsequent weeks; until the reporting window closes. Once closed, students who have not reported in will be removed from their classes and their spots will be released to active students. Following the close, the enrollment census report is captured for the term (Fall Snapshot).
CONSEQUENCES | FAILURE TO REPORT
During the open period, students who are not "reported in" will have restrictive access with limited functionality. Failure to report to campus through the TCI portal (or respond to emailed reminders) will result with dropped registrations and can lead to network-wide access removal. Don't risk this - especially true for students meeting eligibility conditions (i.e., athletics, financial aid, and immigration status). "Checking-in" takes approximately 5 minutes
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 CC?
- 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.
