IUT Dates & Deadlines
Applying by the Registration Access Deadline will allow your IUT Application for "On Track" and/or "Admitted" status consideration. If granted either status, you would then have access to register for restricted classes during your assigned enrollment date and time. You are strongly advised to apply by the Registration Access Deadline for full consideration and greater course availability. However, you may continue to apply until the final deadline for your intended college/school/program. Please find the Registration Access and Final Deadlines for each term in the sidebar of this webpage.
Please refer to the Registration Access and Final Deadlines for each term in the sidebar of this webpage. However, you are strongly advised to apply the Registration Access Deadline for full consideration and greater course availability. Please see the “IUT Application Deadlines” in the sidebar for IUT dates and deadlines.
IUT Applications received after the Registration Access Deadline are considered on a space-available basis until the Final Application Deadline. IUT Applications received after the Final Application Deadline are processed for the following term. Please see the “IUT Dates & Deadlines” in the sidebar on this webpage.
If you have completed your IUT requirements or you are “On Track” to complete your IUT requirements by the end of the Spring semester, then you should apply by the March 1st deadline for summer admission. If you are "On Track" and/or "Admitted", starting in your intended college/school/program in the summer will give you increased access to restricted fall courses. Additionally, being admitted for the summer term does not require you to take summer classes.
IUT Application Status
Please see the section on the IUT main page titled, “Understand the IUT Admissions Process” for IUT Application Status definitions. You should also refer to the IUT webpage of the college/school/program where you intend to apply for specific information regarding IUT Requirements.
Please see the section on the IUT main page titled, “Understand the IUT Admissions Process” for IUT Application Status definitions for a general understanding. You should also refer to the IUT web page and denial email of the college/school/program where you applied for additional information. It is recommended that you schedule an appointment with your current academic advisor to adjust your course schedule for the following semester.
Colleges/schools/programs that do not offer "On Track" status will consider IUT Applications submitted at the Registration Access Deadlines for "Admitted" or "Deferred" status. After the Registration Access Deadline, colleges/schools/programs accept IUT Applications until the Final Application Deadline, on a space-available basis.
Major Changes (Within the Same College/School/Program)
The Intra-University Transfer (IUT) Application is only for students wishing to change, add, or drop a major in two different colleges/schools/programs. If you would like to change, add, or drop a major, minor, or certificate within your current college/school/program, please meet with your current academic advisor. For more information, visit the Office of the Registrar website.
The IUT Application is only used to change, add, or drop one major at time. To pursue a double major in your intended college/school/program, choose one of your intended majors for the IUT Application. If you are admitted to your intended college/school/program, you can then work with your assigned academic advisor to declare an additional major.
IUT Considerations
When you change, add, or drop a college/school/program your tuition bill and financial aid may change if the rates for your new college/school/program are different from your current college/school/program. It is recommended that you view the Bursar's Office tuition rates by school, college and program and that you consult the Office of Financial Aid and/or scholarship donor (if applicable).
Minors and certificates are automatically kept in your degree plan during the IUT process. The only exception is if your minor is incompatible with your major in your new college/school/program. If you are unsure whether your minor has specific eligibility requirements, check with an academic advisor for the minor or refer to the CU Boulder catalog. If you would like to add or drop a minor, please meet with your current academic advisor.
Please be aware that if you select an IUT "Change", all majors in your college will be dropped. In order to keep one of your majors in your current college/school/program and then switch the other, you will need to drop the major you do not want through your college/school/program's major drop process and then add your new major in the college where you would like to apply for an Intra-University Transfer (IUT). Please see the "Can I continue to pursue my minor or certificate?" FAQ for more information about minors.
IUT Eligibility
Incoming first-year and transfer students should complete a major change request form in their CU Boulder Admissions application, before their first day of classes at CU Boulder.
Incoming first-year and transfer students do not need an Intra-University Transfer (IUT) Application until after their first day of classes.
The Intra-University Transfer (IUT) Application on this website is only available for current CU Boulder undergraduate students. CU Boulder graduate students should contact the Graduate School for more information and next steps.
Please see the section on the IUT main page titled, “Understand the IUT Admissions Process” for IUT Application Status definitions. Please also refer to the IUT webpage of the college/school/program where you intend to apply for specific “On Track” requirements.
If you are not eligible for "On Track" status, but you will meet the IUT requirements by the end of the term, you can still apply by the Registration Access Deadline.
If you will not meet the IUT Requirements by the end of the term, please wait to apply until you have met the “On Track” and/or IUT Requirements for your intended college/school/program.
