Schedule Changes (Adds/Drops)

Schedule changes may be handled through Web Registration https://www.unco.edu/registrar/registration/ or at the Office of the Registrar. After the deadlines posted on the Office of the Registrar website, students may not enroll in additional full term courses or drop full term courses in which they are currently registered.

Students may add courses using Ursa through the 5th day of the semester for full semester courses.  After the 5th day of the semester all adds require the signature of the instructor and must be processed at the Office of the Registrar on or before the drop deadline to be considered.  Special Term and Short course add deadlines are available online at http://www.unco.edu/registrar/current-students/course-add-drop.aspx.

  • Days 6-10: Students may also access the Course Late Add (Day 6-10) form on the Office of the Registrar website and fax it to 970-351-1870 or submit it to the Office of the Registrar.  The add request form will only be available on the Office of the Registrar website during days 6-10.
  • Only in unusual circumstances can a student add a course after day 10.  Student's must complete a Petition to Late Add a Course form and either fax or submit to the Office of the Registrar.

A course late add will only be approved when there were extenuating circumstances beyond the students control that kept the student from adhering to the published deadlines. Students lack of knowledge of the published deadlines does not warrant an appeal.

In order to submit an appeal:

  • Students must have been attending on or before the drop deadline to be considered
  • Students must include a written statement describing the circumstances that kept the student from adhering to the deadline. Petitions submitted with a reason will be denied.
  • All required signatures must be obtained.
  • If the student has financial aid, the student is responsible to contact financial aid to understand how this will affect their aid.

In order to use the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend, students must be registered for a course before the course census date (add deadline). There may, however, be legitimate administrative reasons that may allow COR eligibility. UNC will adhere to the Colorado Department of Higher Education College Opportunity Fund guidelines.

Students may drop courses using Ursa through the 10th day of the semester for full semester courses.  Tuition and fees are adjusted if applicable. Special Term and  Short Course drop deadlines are available online at http://www.unco.edu/registrar/current-students/course-add-drop.aspx or through the Student Tab in Ursa by clicking on the "Your Course Drop/Withdrawal Deadlines" link.

The number of credits for which a student is registered at the time of the add/drop deadlines determines tuition and fee charges. Drops differ from withdrawals since drops are not recorded on the student's transcript and withdrawals are recorded on the transcript (see next section).
