Spring Graduation on the Anschutz Medical Campus
Welcome to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus commencement website. This website contains valuable information for all August, December and May graduates and their families.
The Anschutz Medical Campus
does not hold a summer nor a winter commencement ceremony. Therefore graduates from the previous summer semester, as well as those graduating in December, are eligible to attend the ceremony.
Inclement Weather Information (Updated 5/24 at 9:15pm)
Commencement is a rain or shine event, but an inclement weather plan will be implemented if heavy rain or severe weather is expected. On Friday, the National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with highs in the low 70s. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. All outdoor ceremonies are expected to proceed as scheduled.
The university weather hotline (877-INFO-070) will be updated by 6 a.m. on Friday morning if the weather situation should change.
