Fall 2023 Graduation Contract Deadline

On behalf of the Registrars Office

The due date for Fall 2023 graduation contracts is 5:00 p.m. on 09/15/23. Contracts may still be submitted after this date, however a $25 late fee will automatically be assessed and placed on the student bill.

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 that degree conferral and participation in the commencement ceremony follow separate processes and deadlines. The information in this announcement refers solely to degree conferral. Information regarding the commencement ceremony can be found at https://www.csupueblo.edu/commencement/index.html or by emailing commencement@csupueblo.edu.

On behalf of the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs

The goal of the Discovery Research PreK-12 program (DRK-12) is to catalyze research and development that enhances all preK-12 teachers' and students' opportunities to engage in high-quality learning experiences related to the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The program's objectives are to: (1) build knowledge about how to develop preK-12 students' and teachers' STEM content knowledge, practices, and skills; (2) support collaborative partnerships among STEM education researchers, STEM education practitioners and school leaders with the goals of extending relevant scientific literatures while developing more effective practice; and (3) build the field of STEM education by supporting knowledge synthesis, interdisciplinary interactions across fields and stakeholders, and the development of novel and robust ways of assessing teacher and student learning, engagement, and skills. Outcomes of DRK-12 projects can include but are not limited to promising, evidence-based products that can be used by others to support the success of all teachers and all students (e.g., curriculum, teaching and research tools, and models of collaboration). Submission Deadline November 08, 2023, and second Wednesday in November, annually thereafter. Please notify the ORSP at least two weeks prior to deadline if you intend to submit a proposal.
