Schedule Changes (Adds/Drops)
Schedule changes may be handled through Web Registration http://www.unco.edu/registrar/registration/ or at the Office of the Registrar. After the deadline 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.
A course late add will only be approved when there were extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control that kept the student from adhering to the published deadline. Student lack of knowledge of the published deadlines does not warrant an appeal.
In order to submit an appeal:
-
Student must have been attending on or before the drop deadline to be considered
-
Student must include a written statement describing the circumstances that kept the student from adhering to the deadline. Petitions submitted without 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 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 COF 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 deadline 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).
