All graduates who would like to celebrate in person can join CU Denver's first-ever “Cross the Quad” celebration. Instead of a traditional, seated ceremony, graduates will cross the stage in front of the historic Tivoli building to symbolize the completion of your studies at CU Denver and the beginning of your next phase of life. Graduate names will be announced, diploma covers will be presented, and professional photographers will be there to capture the moment. Cross the Quad will be livestreamed, so loved ones can safely watch their graduates commemorate the achievement.

We know that crossing a stage and having great pictures is important to our graduates. So we’re also inviting anyone who graduated in 2020, when we could only have virtual ceremonies, to join the in-person celebrations as well.

Registration for Cross the Quad is now open through 10:00 p.m. MT on Tuesday, April 20.  Cap and gown ordering is open through April 1 to ensure arrival by May 1.
