The search for CU Boulder’s next provost, officially launched in January, is on track. The deadline for nominations and applications has closed, and the provost search advisory committee is now in its quiet phase as it reviews applications, conducts first-round interviews and makes finalist recommendations to Chancellor Justin Schwartz.

Finalists will visit campus in late spring, and the chancellor plans to have a new provost in position by July 1, 2025.

Graduate students who plan to have their degrees awarded in August but would like to be listed in the commencement program must apply online to graduate through Buff Portal on the “apply for graduation” card. PhD students must also enter their dissertation title as part of the graduation application. Though you plan to participate in a May ceremony, please select August 2025 as the semester of graduation if that is when your degree will be awarded.

If you need to prove you’re a University of Colorado employee, or if you need documentation of an employee’s status, use the Experian Verify online tool. Learn more from Employee Services.

During campus portal maintenance, which is next scheduled for Sunday, March 16, you can still access Canvas and some other campus services through direct links (e.g., canvas.colorado.edu).
