Contact the Office of Graduate Education

At CU Denver, Graduate Education admissions involves a variety of different offices and teams. Our central units—which are the Office of Admissions, Graduate Recruitment, and International Admissions—work together as the operational backbone for campus-wide graduate admissions processes and recruitment activities. These teams partner closely with our seven schools and colleges to facilitate a smooth admission experience from application to enrollment.

Depending on the nature of your question, you may need to contact one of our central teams or your school/college directly. Review the details of each office below to determine which one to contact. Please refrain from contacting multiple offices as this will delay our response time.
