Registration Procedures
A student must be registered to attend class. The Schedule of Classes can be found by accessing Ursa and selecting “Look Up Classes” or at 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, “Your Date to Register” link. Registration consists of the following processes:
- Check Registration Status on the Student Tab/“Registration Status” or “View Your Holds” links in Ursa. These will show any holds that need to be cleared prior to registration.
- Undergraduate students require a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) each semester; PINs are distributed by the student’s assigned advisor. Declared students are assigned an academic advisor in their major degree program. 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, the student may call the department of the specified major to have an advisor assigned. Students declared as Exploring, are advised by Soar. The School of Nursing advises Exploring the Liberal Arts Nursing students.
The PIN changes each semester and is required in order to register for upcoming semester classes. Summer and Interim Winter Sessions do not require a PIN. Students who misplace a PIN should contact the advisor who issued the 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.
New First Year students will register prior to their first semester during their scheduled Advising/Registration session. New First Year students are also encouraged to attend an orientation program that provides essential information about the University.
Priority Registration
Students will be released for registration of future terms based on the number of credits they have successfully completed at the time that registration begins, starting with students who have the highest number of credits downward. However, priority registration is granted to specific groups with unique scheduling needs.
