How to Register: Nondegree Students
Nondegree students register beginning March 9. Registration materials, including your invitation to register, are mailed by Continuing Education when students are admitted for summer and will contain detailed information on the registration and payment process.
If you are a nondegree student thinking about applying to CU as a degree student in the future, you may transfer an unlimited number of credits taken as a nondegree student on any CU campus. However, applicability of these hours toward degree requirements is established by the colleges and schools. Consult the dean's office of the college or school you plan to enter for further information.
Orientation for Nondegree Students
Orientation for nondegree students will be held on Thursday, May 28, at 10:00 a.m. at Continuing Education Center, 1505 University Avenue. This informal session provides an opportunity to meet and ask questions of representatives from admissions and financial aid and receive academic advising. Campus tours will be available. Call 303-492-5148 for additional information.
Your Invitation to Register
Read your summer invitation to register carefully (you receive your invitation with your summer registration materials). It contains your registration time assignment (the earliest date and time you can register).
Your invitation also contains your personal identification number (PIN) and CU student ID number. You need both of these numbers to access web registration. Keep them confidential. If you feel they are not secure, you can change your PIN via PLUS at plus.colorado.edu or in the campus web portal at cuconnect.colorado.edu, or come to the registrar's office in Regent 105.
Your invitation may also indicate a registration “stop” on your record. Stops can occur any time in the registration process and can prevent your enrollment in courses. Be sure to check your record and take care of any stops before you register.
In addition, there may be a statement on your invitation to register about academic advising being required before you can register. If you are required to see an academic advisor, make an appointment as soon as possible. Take your completed summer registration planning form (click here to download form) with you to your advising appointment. If you are not required to see an academic advisor, but you would like advising, you can either go to your dean's office or to the Academic Advising Center in Woodbury. After being advised, you can register any time after your time assignment begins.
