Congratulations to families whose students will be graduating this spring!  As you plan to attend commencement ceremonies May 11-12, 2012, here are a few resources you (and your student!) may find useful:

• Students must submit an Intent to Graduate form through RAMweb.  With this form and confirmation they've met all graduation requirements, they will then begin to receive commencement information from their college.  Students planning to graduate should meet with their academic advisor to ensure they've completed all of the proper paperwork & are qualified to graduate.
• The CSU Commencement website is the best comprehensive resource to find graduation information.  On this site, families can find:
  • Commencement Ceremony Schedules by College
  • Graduation FAQs
  • Coming to Fort Collins
  • Alumni Association Grad Packs
• As the date gets closer, check back to find scheduled webcasts of the ceremonies, if you're not able to attend in person.

We hope you'll consider using RAMFAM Association Business Directory partners as you plan your stay!

The 2011-2012 Supporting Transitions Calendar is now available online!  As a parent or family member of an incoming student (first year or transfer) you'll receive a hard copy of the Supporting Transitions: A Guide for Parents & Families calendar if you attend either Preview or Next Step orientation with your student.  For returning families, we hope you'll check out our Students As Emerging Adults: A Transitions Guide for Parents and Families under the Year-By-Year link to the right.  Our newest publication aims to support families as their students move through their sophomore, junior and senior years at CSU and touches on life after college. 

These publications are brought to you by the Parents Fund.  Please consider a gift to continue these great resources.
