Creating an Inclusive Graduate Student Community

Basic overview of important considerations related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

The Office of Diversity is home to student services, programs, and resources developed to enhance diversity university-wide and foster a culture of equity and inclusion among all faculty, staff, students, and the community.

The University of Colorado Denver Center for Identity & Inclusion (CII) consists of American Indian Student Services (AISS), Asian American Student Services (AASS), Black Student Services (BSS) and Latinx Student Services (LSS). CII provides vital links to the culturally rich and diverse community surrounding CU Denver.

The Office of Inclusion and Outreach at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has a mission to promote and support a diverse community that acknowledges values, fosters, and benefits from the unique qualities, rich histories, and wide variety of cultural values and beliefs that mirror and fulfill the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus mission of education, healthcare, research, and community service.

The Women & Gender Center (WGC) at CU Denver is committed to advancing issues of gender equity and supporting the gender-focused needs of students, faculty, and staff on the Auraria campus. Their mission is to address gender inequities and foster a campus community that values inclusion, social justice, equity, and respect for everyone regardless of background and experience.  They are committed to enacting intersectional feminism in their programming by exploring gender as it overlaps and interacts with the multiple identities that people inhabit across their lifespans. They serve all members of the CU Denver community, regardless of gender identity.

Our university remains committed to providing access to all qualified students, including students under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Advancing Students for a Stronger Economy Tomorrow (ASSET) programs.  ASSET, DACA, Mixed Family Status​ and undocumented students are valuable members of our student body whom we strive to ensure are safe and respected on our campus. We are pleased to provide a variety of services, support, and information for students, faculty, and staff to help undocumented students succeed at CU Denver and CU Anschutz

Our university supports a diverse student body and doesn't discriminate against persons with disabilities in admissions policies and procedures nor educational programs, services and activities.​

The Office of Disability Resources and Services maintains disability-related records, determines eligibility and develops plans to provide academic accommodations for students. We encourage academically-qualified students with disabilities to utilize all the appropriate accommodations available to them.
