Graduation and Commencement

Graduation Application Deadlines

To be considered a candidate for graduation, all students must file a graduation application with the Office of Academic Records and Registration no later than the published deadline. Graduates must speak to their academic advisor if they have missed their appropriate application deadline.

Graduation Process

Step 1: Ensure with your academic advisor you are on track to graduate. Please note: Your academic advisor is the only one who can verify if you are on track with your courses to graduate.
Step 2: Submit a graduation application. This must be done for every student who wishes to graduate by the deadline as noted above.
Step 3: Once your graduation application is submitted please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.
Step 4: Your diploma will be mailed to you within 12 weeks of your graduation date.
Step 5: If you plan to participate in the commencement ceremony, purchase your cap and gown (regalia) through the Ranger Station Bookstore.
Step 6: A $50 graduation fee will be invoiced once your graduation application is processed.

Ordering Regalia

All students who walk in commencement are required to wear regalia. Regalia can be purchased through the Regis Bookstore and is yours to keep after the ceremony. Regalia cannot be rented, but can be purchased using one of the following options:

1. Call or email the Regis University Bookstore at 303.458.4150 or email 0269mgr@follett.com. Accepted payment options: Major credit cards, cash, check or book voucher
2. Order online at www.cbgrad.com 

Regalia should be ordered approximately one month prior to commencement. The Regis Bookstore will be at the commencement ceremony for any last-minute changes, but it is strongly recommended that orders are placed ahead of time to ensure correct gown size and tassel/hood color.

Pricing and regalia color is specific to your degree type. When ordering, please specify your degree for tassel and hood color. Example: Bachelor of Arts or Master of Science (NOT Bachelor of Arts in Communication or Master of Science in Criminology). Hood and tassel color are determined by degree type rather than area of study.

Regis University does not provide Honor Cords, only Honor Societies provide cords. If you would like an Honor Society Cord, please contact the honor society to which you below for order information.
