Board Policy
Pursuant to CRS 23-30-119, upon recommendation of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee, the Board approves all degree candidates for the institutions it governs.
Procedures
- Based on degree requirements established by their respective Faculties, and audited by their Registrars, the Board, with the advice of the institutions it governs, grants degrees periodically upon student completion of the various degree programs offered by the institutions.
- The Board of Governors acknowledges that the institutions have the flexibility to alter or waive certain degree requirements as may be desired, required, or deemed necessary, subject to accreditation and other requirements.
- The Board approves in advance all degree candidates who meet the requirements of their respective institutions, including posthumous degrees. This shall be done at least annually. The Board will typically grant approval to all institutions for the upcoming academic year (independent of the frequency with which the institution actually issues the degrees or diplomas).
- Each institution shall submit to the Board an annual report of degrees granted in the prior year.
