Commencement Fall 2022

You’re invited to be a part of the undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for the College of Health and Human Sciences, Saturday, December 17, 9 a.m. in Moby Arena (line-up for graduates at 8 a.m. in the Intramural Gym).

You may participate in Fall (December) or Spring (May) ceremonies, depending on availability, family and friends, and your preference to walk with your peers. We’ll be prepared for each graduating senior with the Anticipated Graduation Term for that semester’s commencement ceremony (Spring and Summer terms for Spring ceremony; Fall term for Fall ceremony). A name reader card will be pre-printed by the Registrar’s Office.

IMPORTANT: Students, you are responsible for setting the correct Anticipated Graduation Term, email, and mailing address in RAMweb. 

Considering participating in a ceremony before or after your Anticipated Graduation Term? To participate during a different semester (for example, walk in Fall before completing a Spring or Summer internship, or walking a semester later), please provide your contact information and fill out this form. Note that your name will appear on the program of your Anticipated Graduation Term in RAMweb.  Please consult with your adviser if you have any questions.

Students or alumni whose graduation term is NOT Fall 2022, and who would like to walk in the Fall 2022 graduation, must submit contact information on the Walk-Through Survey form .

Any question? Contact Malinda Sloan by email: malinda.sloan@colostate.edu, or by phone (970) 491-6365.

The Registrar’s Office provides the names for the program and on your CSU official diploma, based on the information you input in the Anticipated Graduation Term you designate on RAMweb.  So be sure to keep your information current and accurate!

If you have an Anticipated Graduation Term in Spring or Summer, you will have your name in the Spring Commencement Program. If you have been awarded a baccalaureate degree for Summer or your Anticipated Graduation Term is Fall, you will have your name in the Fall Commencement Program. If you have a confidential hold on your records, or an Anticipated Graduation Term of another semester, we can’t include you in the program. If you are a walk-through student, we can only include you in the program for your Anticipated Graduation Term. For questions about your Anticipated Graduation Term, please contact your adviser.
