We are proud to welcome you to that community. As you begin your graduate experience, you may have questions about policies, procedures and resources that can contribute to your success. The OGS student services team partners with students, faculty and staff to help students navigate the procedures for requesting transfer of credit, changing a major, applying for a leave of absence, receiving approval for the dissertation/thesis oral defense committee, and academic exceptions.

  • University of Denver Leadership Message
    UNIVERSITY OF DENVER LEADERSHIP MESSAGE Over the past century and a half, DU has established a proud history of dedication to both academic and athletic excellence. The Pioneer’s great athletic tradition includes many noteworthy achievements, not least win- ning the Division I-AAA Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup in six of the last seven years. This recog- nition as the nation’s best athletics program among Division I schools without football in 2014, 2013, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is a tremendous accomplishment. Adding 29 NCAA Champion- ships, 113 Individual NCAA Championships, 152 NCAA Tournament Appearances, 351 All-Amer- icans, 774 All-Conference Honors, 74 Conference Championships, 65 Conference Coaches of the Year, 4 National Coaches of the Year and 58 Olympians shows our history to be one filled with achievement at an elite level. The University is equally proud of the tremendous accomplishments of its student-athletes in the classroom and of our academic standing among fellow NCAA institutions. All 17 DU sports programs have scored an Academic Progress Rate over 925 (the NCAA standard) for six consec- utive years and our Graduation Success Rate sits above 90%. In keeping with DU’s vision of being a great private university dedicated to the public good, our mission is to promote learning by engaging with students in advancing scholarly inquiry, culti- vating critical and creative thought, and generating knowledge. Pioneer student-athletes – the young men and women who dedicate themselves to being the best on and off the field of play – are fine examples of the values the University of Denver seeks to promote.

    University of Denver • Land Use Plan Update I University of Denver - Past and Present Historic Development Since being granted a charter in 1864, the University of Denver has been active in shaping the civic landscape in several areas of the City. Even today, DU’s infl uence extends beyond the perceived boundaries of High Street and University Boulevard. Th e sale of the Park Hill Campus and the resulting need to consolidate Law and Music programs on to the University Park campus is a recent notable step in the history of DU’s campus development. Th e Colorado Seminary (left) and John Evans’ House, Th e University Park campus in an early stage of circa 1863. development. New trees planted by the University are also visible. Allen D. Breck’s book From the Rockies to the World is the most comprehensive and current recording of DU’s history. Information from this book has been invaluable in educating the land use planning team on the interconnected relationship the University of Denver has maintained with the community through the years. Th e following text, paraphrased from Allen Breck, points out some of the key milestones in the campus history. On a Sunday aft ernoon in October 1863, a large, fi ne-toned bell rang for the fi rst time atop a grand new three-story academic building at 14th and Arapahoe Streets, marking the beginning of John Evans’ academic legacy in Denver. Aft er a career in Chicago that included a faculty position at Rush Medical School and a visionary role in the creation of Northwestern University, Evans brought his “frontier capitalism” to Denver to help gather funding for the Colorado Seminary.
