The cost of tuition at CU varies based on the student’s college. When students successfully IUT into Leeds, they will be charged the Leeds tuition rate beginning the semester for which they are admitted, whether or not they enroll in business courses. Please visit the Bursar’s Office website for more information on tuition costs.

On-track registration access allows students to register for BCOR classes before they are officially admitted to Leeds.

To be eligible for on-track registration access, you must meet the following criteria:

• Submit your IUT application by the IUT Priority Consideration deadline
• Apply with a current cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher
  • For transfer students in their first semester at CU who have completed at least 12 credits at another institution, Leeds will consider the transfer GPA from the most recent institution when reviewing for on track status.
• Completed or be in progress with Leeds IUT Requirements for credit hours and coursework

If you are eligible for on-track registration access, you will be allowed to register for BCOR classes before you are officially admitted to Leeds. You will be notified before registration begins and provided instructions on how to register for business classes.

Students who receive on-track registration access are not admitted to Leeds yet. We will hold your application review it at the end of the semester for admission.

• If you meet all IUT requirements at the end of the semester, your IUT application will be approved and you will be admitted to Leeds.
• If you do NOT meet all IUT requirements at the end of the semester, your IUT application will be denied and you will be removed from business courses.

During the Fall and Spring semesters, BCOR classes are restricted to business students. The only exception is for students who qualify for on-track registration access as detailed above. Non-business students who do not qualify for on-track registration access may take BCOR courses through Continuing Education or during the summer term.
