10. Once you're happy with your name, select the "Approve Diploma Name" checkbox.
11. Review your address. Diplomas are mailed approximately eight weeks after the commencement ceremony. If the address shown won't be correct at that time, select "Change Address" to create a new diploma address. The post office will not forward your diploma if your address changes.
12. Once you're happy with your address, tick the "Approve Diploma Address" checkbox.

Your application status will likely remain as "In Review" until after the degree conferral date for your graduation term.*

At that time, your department will review your records, determine whether you've completed your graduation requirements, and change your status to either "Accepted" or "Denied."

• If your status is "Accepted," then you've successfully completed your degree requirements and have graduated from ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder.
• If your status is "Denied," then you haven't completed your degree requirements and have not graduated from ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder. Please contact your advisor for more information.

*If your status is changed to "Accepted" before the end of your graduation term, that means the department has received your application, but has not confirmed whether you've met your degree requirements.

To change your graduation term, you must cancel the current application and submit a new one.

1. Follow this link to Buff Portal's  (you may be prompted to log in).
2. Select "Apply for graduation."
3. In the graduation application status table, select "View Application."
