Diplomas are mailed to students approximately 6-8 weeks after Commencement.

Students affiliated with certain sponsoring organizations should request an additional diploma to be mailed to their sponsor directly.
Degree Completion Letters
As of July 2023, Degree Completion Letters are processed for graduating sponsored students by the Registrar’s Office. They can be requested via email (registrar@ucdenver.edu ). The letter only mentions the student has completed their academic program requirements and is expected to earn their degree on an estimated date. It does not mention either the specific degree or the major. Students who need a record to show the specific degree and major will need to request an official transcript after degree conferral.
