Academic Dates & Deadlines

Check your enrollment dates in Buff Portal and start planning your schedule.

This Friday, Oct. 29, is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students (law students aren't eligible) to complete these actions for a full-semester Main Campus class.

Today, we are announcing that the spring 2021 semester will start on Jan. 14 and the campus will continue to offer in-person and remote courses. We're also sharing key updates to address a number of lessons learned this fall.

In recognition of how COVID-19 is impacting our students, we are extending the deadline to receive a 60% rebate to Sept. 29.

A revised July and August class registration schedule is now reflected in the Fall 2020 academic calendar.

Classes will now be held on campus through Wednesday, Nov. 25, shortening fall break (typically a full week), and all classes will continue remotely and/or online through the end of the semester. Many calendar dates have moved up accordingly, including the last day of classes (Dec. 8) and finals exams (Dec. 9–13).

If you missed the deadline to take one or more of your spring classes pass/fail, you may still have time. CU Boulder is offering a grace period from now through Monday, May 11 (11:59 p.m.) for classes with a pass/fail deadline of April 30 or May 1.

You've applied to graduate in May! If your graduation term has changed, please cancel your application and submit a new one. Otherwise, please make note of the following campuswide graduation dates and deadlines.

A reminder that all Colorado Law classes will be graded on a credit/no-credit (CR/NC) basis in Spring 2020.

Your Summer 2020 enrollment dates are now available. We encourage you to register as soon as possible for the best chance to get the classes you want.
