Questions Corner

Question: What action steps can you take to prepare for graduate school applications?  

Are you planning to apply for graduate school? Here are some action steps to help prepare you for graduate school applications over the summer:

  • Finalize what graduate school program and institutions you would like to apply to. The Career Center staff, its graduate school guide, and faculty members can help you make this decision.  
  • Once you have decided what programs and institutions to apply to, consider the application requirements, including:  
    • Application deadlines 
    • Application materials, such as personal statements, letters of recommendation, and CVs 
    • Standardized exam scores 
  • If necessary, prepare for standardized exams, such as the GRE. This can be done by accessing free and second-hand exam prep resources. Additionally, the Career Center offers Kaplan test prep classes for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT. 
For additional support, contact your faculty advisor, schedule an appointment with a career consultant for graduate school advising on Handshake, or connect with the advising hub for pre-law or pre-med advising.

Commencement Tickets Available TOMORROW

Graduates, Commencement guest tickets will be available TOMORROW, May 1!

Graduating seniors in the Class of 2024: The Ticketmaster link to claim guest tickets to Commencement events will go live tomorrow, May 1 at 12:15 p.m.  
 
Two events during Commencement weekend will require tickets: 
  • Saturday, May 18 – Baccalaureate Ceremony, Shove Memorial Chapel 
    Tickets issued on a first-come, first-served basis (max. two per graduate) 
  • Sunday, May 19 – Commencement Ceremony, Ed Robson Arena 
    Seven guest tickets per graduate (five in reserved seating, and two standing room only) 
Complete, step-by-step ticket information can be found here. Please read all instructions carefully before claiming tickets. 

Important Notes: 

  • To claim tickets, you must first create an account or log in to your existing account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege. 
  • Graduates do not need their own ticket but must claim all complimentary tickets on behalf of your guests for both Commencement and Baccalaureate ceremonies. Be sure to talk with your parents, friends, family, and other guests in advance about their plans so you can log in and claim all tickets needed. This ticket-claiming process must happen in one transaction on Ticketmaster. You cannot go back and claim more tickets at a later time. 
  • For the Commencement ceremony, graduates will select and reserve specific seats in Ed Robson Arena on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be aware, ADA and limited-mobility seating in Ed Robson Arena is available on a first-come, first-served basis and goes quickly. Stairways to lower-level arena seating are steep; students should consider this as they reserve tickets for guests with limited mobility and/or accommodation needs and will be prompted within Ticketmaster to reserve accessible seating by contacting the Director of Ticket Operations at hvarnum2023@coloradocollege.edu.
  • After claiming your desired number of tickets, you will transfer tickets directly to your guests via Ticketmaster. Please note: Your guests must also create a Colorado College Ticketmaster account in order to receive transferred tickets and to display the QR code for entry into ticketed venues. This step is not urgent but needs to happen before entry into the event. (One guest may hold tickets for multiple people as long as they enter the venue at the same time.) Individuals can create a free account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege any time. 
 
Remember, if you have not applied to graduate, you will not be able to claim tickets. Contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@coloradocollege.edu if you still need to apply or believe there is an error. 
You can find details about all 2024 Commencement weekend events at coloradocollege.edu/commencement.  
We look forward to celebrating with you!
