All electronic contracts should be sent to the designated email: graduationcontracts@csupueblo.edu.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND DUPLICATE COPIES OF CONTRACTS IN EITHER ELECTRONIC OR HARD COPY FORMAT, AS THIS CREATES CONFUSION AND HINDERS THE ENTRY PROCESS.

Please review the following common issues on all graduation contracts before submission:

• Intended semester for graduation, catalog year, degree intent and all major(s), emphasis area(s) and minor(s) are correct and reflect what is in Banner and on DARS audit. 

 • All DARS audit deficiencies noted are fixed PRIOR to contract submission. (Exceptions and petitions must be reflected on the DARS audit prior to submission.)

• ALL required signatures are present. 

• A current “green” DARS audit is attached and reflects accurate student enrollment information. For electronic contract submission please save the audit as a pdf and attach it to the email.

All contracts are reviewed before being placed in the degree conferral queue. If any of the above issues are found, the contract will be returned for corrections before being placed in the queue, and may then be subject to a late fee if re-submitted after the deadline.

Please note degree conferral and participation in the commencement ceremony follow separate processes and deadlines. The information in this announcement refers solely to degree conferral.

June Blackboard Maintenance - Old Courses Will Be Moved to Offline Archive

On behalf of Academic Technology

In late June of 2023, we will be performing annual maintenance in our Learning Management System by moving courses from Spring 2017-Spring 2020 to an offline archive. These courses will no longer be available within Blackboard. Courses from Summer 2020 to the present and template courses will not be affected at this time. This is part of our regular Blackboard maintenance and is conducted in order to retain space in the system for courses in upcoming semesters, and prevent an overload of information for faculty and students who have been enrolled in courses from 2017 to the present.

If you are an instructor and would like to retain a personal copy of any of your courses from between Spring 2017-Spring 2020, please ensure that you have archived and exported your courses to a device for your personal records by Monday, June 19th.

Fall 2023 Course - Pharmaceutical Chemistry, CHEM 491

On behalf of Chemistry

You have likely seen advertisements on TV promoting new medications. Pharmaceutical companies such as, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Abbvie, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Merck, are always looking for emerging biologists, chemists, and engineers from schools like CSU Pueblo.

As a 40 year veteran of one of these pharmaceutical giants, I want to share the available opportunities in this field. The topics covered include the diverse specialized work that you would encounter and likely get to choose from. Being a practicing synthetic organic chemist in both chemical development and large-scale production technical services, I will be teaching the molecular progression from lab-scale discovery to post-launch, long-term production of ton-scale agricultural, pharmaceutical, and antibiotic molecular structures. This course also covers techniques and strategies employed to quickly and successfully solve a myriad of challenges in this field.
