Registration

Information on Registration

Students who self-enroll may do so via their student portal. Students who do not self-enroll are encouraged to connect directly with their school, college, program, or department.  Prior to registration, students should verify their emergency contact information, and resolve any holds, including Selective Service and/or financial obligations to the University. Additional information on unique enrollment statuses and process is below.

Auditing Courses and No Credit Registration

A student my not audit courses at the Anschutz Medical Campus.  Instead, a student who has been officially accepted may register in a course for no credit and pay the appropriate tuition and fees.  Students must indicate no credit registration at the time of registration or during the drop/add period.

"Request for No Credit" forms are available through the Registrar's Office website.  

Canceled Classes

Courses listed in the schedule of courses are those currently offered by the schools, college and programs at Anschutz Medical Campus.  The Anschutz Medical Campus reserves the right to cancel, postpone, divide, change the time of, and combine scheduled classes, and/or change professors.  Students enrolled in classes which are canceled will have the opportunity to add another class.

Enrollment Status

A student's enrollment status (Full-Time, Half-Time, Less than Half-Time) at CU Anschutz is determined by the number of credits in which they are enrolled, and may vary by School, College, Program, or Department. Such statuses are defined here. For questions regarding Financial Aid eligibility, relative to enrollment status, please contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office.

Intercampus Enrollment

A degree-seeking student may enroll for 2 courses or 6 semester hours (whichever is greater) at the CU Colorado Springs campus and the CU Boulder campus with the approval of the student's academic dean or designate.  Tuition and fees will be assessed at the student's home campus rate; however, the student must be enrolled for at least one course the entire semester on the home campus. 

Intercampus registration forms must be obtained from the Registrar website. Once completed, the forms are to be taken to the Student's school/program for the appropriate approval and signature, and returned to the Registrar's Office.  Students may register concurrently during the drop/add period period of the host campus.  Questions concerning concurrent registration may be directed to the Registrar's Office at 303-724-8000.

Northern Colorado Exchange Agreement
