Registration Procedures
A student must be registered to attend class. The Schedule of Classes can be found by accessing Ursa "Look Up Classes" or www.unco.edu/sched. Registration is continuous. Current students are assigned times during the last part of the academic semester when they may register for courses offered in the following semester. Registration dates can be found on URSA under "Important Links." Registration consists of the following processes:
- Check Registration Status on the Student Tab/Registration Tools in Ursa. This will show any holds that need to be cleared up prior to registration.
- Undergraduate students require a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) each semester; distributed by a students's assigned advisor, with the exception of Nursing majors and Junior/Senior Business majors. Declared students are assigned a faculty advisor in the program. Advisor names can be found in URSA, under "Registration Tools," by clicking on "View Student Information." If an advisor name is not present, call the department of the specified major to have an advisor assigned. Students declared as Exploring and selected "seeking" majors are advised by Academic Support and Advising. ISET majors should contact the Interdisciplinary Studies, Liberal Arts Office for an advising appointment.
The PIN changes each semester and is required in order to register for upcoming semester classes. For a misplaced PIN, contact the advisor who issues the PIN. Summer and Interim sessions do not require a PIN. Students changing majors must meet with an academic advisor in the newly declared major to obtain a PIN.
- Colorado Resident Undergraduate should authorize Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF).
- Payment of student account.
