Add a Class

When You Can Add

You can add classes to your schedule during these times:

Under special circumstances, you may be allowed to add a class after open enrollment ends with permission from the instructor and/or your department (requirements vary by department).

Please note:

  • Late adds are typically only approved if the class has space available and you've been attending class regularly.
  • Late-added classes may affect your financial aid eligibility and tuition and fee bill, and you will not receive COF funding for the class unless the registration delay was due to university error.

In a Registration Program?

Nondegree students, high school students, auditors, CU babyÖ±²¥app and staff using the tuition assistance benefit, and students taking classes through the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) or intercampus enrollment follow different registration schedules.
