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. 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 the Student Tab, "Determine your Date to Register" link. Registration consists of the following processes:
- Check Registration Status on the Student Tab/Registration Status link in Ursa. This will show any holds that need to be cleared prior to registration.
- Undergraduate students require a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) each semester; distributed by a students' assigned advisor. Declared students are assigned a faculty advisor. Advisor names can be found in URSA, under Registration and Grades/Register for Classes 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 Major Exploration & Academic Probation.
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.
