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.

Understand how your plans and degree progress align by taking these next steps towards graduation:
- Apply to Graduate
- Declare your major(s) and/or minor(s)
- Schedule a graduation review appointment with your advisor(s).
- Proof your Stellic record in your advising appointment as this is your first step in verifying requirements have been met. 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.
- Send official transcripts/reports for any pending/missing transfer work 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 Winter Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads).
- If there is missing transfer credit on the student's record, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar’s Office ASAP.
- Stay informed with graduation events from the College Events office
Students must meet all degree requirements by end of Block 8 to graduate and receive a diploma at Spring Commencement. Degree requirements include: major, general education, and 32-unit. Students who are within their final two units of their degree requirements by end of Block 8 and want to participate at Commencement, will remain eligible for participation eligibility at the ceremony (walk across stage) but will not be officially graduated and will not receive a diploma until the final remaining requirements are completed. 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.

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.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.
