UCDenver Graduation for ILT Students (10 Things you NEED to know)

UCDenver Graduation for ILT Students
(10 Things you NEED to know)



I will be graduating this December and let me tell you, it has been a fantastic journey in the Information & Learning Technologies MA program. Having said that, I made a few mistakes when it comes to graduation that luckily, (after some begging and pleading) I am still able to continue with graduation.  Don’t make the same mistakes I did!

Here are 10 simple steps that will help you make all the right steps toward graduation.

1.    Make sure you stay in touch with both your academic adviser and your program adviser throughout the program and especially during the term you wish to graduate
2.    Check your UCDENVER email OFTEN- important graduation items arrive in your UCDenver email, do NOT ignore them
3.    Follow the ILT graduation guidelines on the ILT Resources Google Doc
4.    Turn in your portfolio on time
5.    Make sure to complete the graduation form AND the Culminating Experience forms by the required deadline
6.    Complete the IDI survey and the exit survey by the required deadline—links to these surveys will come in your campus email
7.    If you wish to attend the commencement: Sign up before the deadline and order your cap and gown (regalia)
8.    Bookmark these 3 links—these links will be your bible throughout the ILT program: ILT RESOURCES ILT GRADUATION and ILT PORTFOLIO
9.    Ask for help if you need it! The SEHD department is there for you and they understand the stresses that go along with final semester and graduation. Here is a link to the SEHD Website

10.  Perhaps the most important tip…bask in all your glory because you earned it!

  1. Thanks for the tips on graduating, and CONGRATULATIONS! I can barely imagine myself at that point. I do only have a few classes left and am going to bookmark this list (so please try not to remove it :) to refer to as I approach graduation. I am a totally online student, living in Washington state, so I will not attend a commencement, unless they have an e-commencement, lol. Good luck with your future endeavors.
