Registering for Courses

Field courses at the Mountain Research Station are very popular and have small class sizes to maximize student/instructor interaction. A waitlist will be generated if the course fills and students will be placed based on the date of their waiting list reservation.

REGISTERING FOR A MOUNTAIN RESEARCH STATION FIELD COURSE.

To register for a class at the CU Mountain Research Station you must first pay a non-refundable course deposit fee of $300USD here:

https://na.eventscloud.com/ereg/index.php?eventid=826199&

Once your deposit is confirmed you will receive a permission number via email from Mike Haffey.

Degree students (i.e., CU Boulder students) may then register for classes in the Buff portal with the permission number provided like you would for any other course. Go to https://classes.colorado.edu/ and search for the course name or course #. All courses in 2025 fall under EBIO 4100 or EBIO 4460. Add the class to your cart and proceed to check out.

Non-degree students (i.e., students from other Universities) need to fill out a Continuing Education Application. A Welcome email with their Student ID# will be sent to students within 2 business days. Students will then follow the instructions in the Welcome email to activate an IdentiKey password, set up duo authentication, and access the Buff portal to register for classes.
