Registration Information and Forms

Course Registration Information

Resistration is accomplished directly through the Mountain Research Station, by filling out an informational form online and submitting the course deposit. Courses are run through the Divsion of Continuing Education. Credits are no different than other courses run at the University of Colorado. Courses are offered at the same cost for Colorado residents and nonresidents. In addition, the MRS courses fulfill CU's Environmental Studies field course requirement.

Registration for courses is taken on a first come, first serve, basis, assessed by when a deposit is received.  When you receive your confirmation email, send or deliver a check, along with your printed confirmation, to reserve your place in the course. (Note: the registration form is not considered complete and will not be processed until we receive your deposit.)

If the course you are interested in is full, your check will be held, and your name will be put on a waiting list in case space becomes available. You may call (303) 492-8842 to check on the availability of courses. Final registration will take place on the first day of the class and the balance of the cost is due at that time. A late fee of 5% will be assessed if payment is not received by that date. Please send a copy of your transcript indicating that you have taken the prerequisites for those courses in which you have registered.

Cancellations

Course reservations must be cancelled by April 8, 2013 (December 17, 2012 for Winter Ecology) to receive a 80% reimbursement of your deposit. After that date, deposits are non-refundable. Deposits are refunded in full if the MRS has to cancel a course. If you are coming from out-of-state, we recommend that you check course enrollments with us before buying non-refundable airline tickets.
