Applicants or admitted students who wish to change the term indicated on their application must submit a term change request to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions prior to registering for and/or attending any classes at CU Denver. Admission can be deferred for up to one year (three semesters) from the initial term indicated on the application. For example, an admitted student that initially applied for Fall 2022 may defer until Fall 2023. A new application is not required for a change up to one year from the initial term indicated on the application.

Note: A maximum of three term change requests per application are honored.

Applicants and admitted students who wish to change the major indicated on their application must submit one of the following requests:

Program/Plan Change

Prior to the first day of classes, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions completes program/plan change requests within or between the University of Colorado Denver schools/colleges.  Requests are made through the admissions application portal.

Note: Admissibility into the desired major will be evaluated.  Admissibility varies between the University of Colorado Denver schools/colleges.  University admission does not guarantee program/plan change approval.

Intra-University Transfer (IUT)

After the first day of classes, students wishing to change from one CU Denver school or college to another must submit an Intra-University Transfer (IUT) form to their intended school.

Change of Major

After the first day of classes, students wishing to change their major within the same CU Denver school or college must submit a Change of Major request to their advisor.
