Dates and Deadlines

For a complete list of dates and deadlines, visit the university's Special Session calendar. Dates are subject to change.

* Add a class using Buff Portal or CU Boulder Class Search by 11:59 p.m. Under special circumstances, students may be allowed to add a class after open enrollment ends with permission from the ORE program. Students will need to submit a request to the ORE Program Manager at oreadmin@colorado.edu.
** Drop a class using Buff Portal or CU Boulder Class Search by 11:59 p.m. with a refund. After this date, students who drop classes in this session are required to pay 100 percent of tuition and fees (no refund), and W grades are posted to transcripts.
^ Drop a class using Buff Portal or CU Boulder Class Search by 11:59 p.m. (no refund). If students wish to drop a class after this date, they will need to contact the Continuing Education petition coordinator to learn whether they can petition for a late drop. Supporting documentation may be required. Dropping all Main Campus classes constitutes a withdrawal from a session (^^).
^^ Withdraw from a session by 11:59 p.m. (no refund) by submitting the Withdrawal Form or sending a request to CEregistration@colorado.edu. Dropping all Main Campus classes constitutes a withdrawal from a session. Each session functions as its own semester, which means that if you drop all of your classes in a given session (even if it was only one class), you have technically withdrawn from that session.
