A&S Registration Guide for Incoming Transfer Students
Step 1: Complete these tasks as soon as possible
- Complete the Online Experience.
- Resolve your Holds and To-Dos in Buff Portal. Learn more by Exploring Buff Portal.
- Complete any placement assessments your advisor recommends.
- Make sure all of your final, official transcripts are submitted to CU Boulder, as well as any AP exam and IB exam scores. Learn more about how to submit official transcripts.
- Complete any additional steps for transfer students.
Step 2: Connect with your academic advisor starting May 10
Incoming transfer students are now assigned to academic advisors. If you are an incoming transfer student who is not assigned, make sure that you have confirmed your enrollment. Once you confirm, you should be assigned to an advisor the following week.
Schedule an individual appointment with your advisor to discuss your transfer credits, degree audit, course registration, etc.
- To find and schedule an individual advising appointment:
- Go to Buff Portal Advising (BPA), Log in as a Current Student, look at your Student Success Team, click on your assigned advisor's picture to open up their appointment calendar, then find and book an available appointment.
- You may also see drop-in availability for your advisor, but we do not recommend drop-ins as a first advising connection. A full appointment is most appropriate for incoming transfer students.
Step 3: Schedule and attend your Transfer Student Orientation session
If you have not done so already, make sure you complete pre-registration- this is required for you to complete each time you register for classes.
- Registration for incoming transfer students will take place at a scheduled Transfer Student Orientation session. There are in-person sessions available in June and virtual sessions available in July. You can schedule your Transfer Student Orientation session through Buff Portal.
- Registration will close at the end of your scheduled orientation session. You will be able to adjust your schedule when registration reopens on July 23.
