The time right after you’ve submitted your application can be exciting – and also a little nerve-racking as you await the news. With this section you can track your status in the application process and accept an offer of admission.
What to Expect
Within two to three weeks after the undergraduate office receives your application, you should receive:
- Your CU-Boulder Student Identification Number (SID)
- Your PIN to access the online application status page
Now that you have filled out an application, review the application checklist to make sure you have also submitted and/or requested all the required information and credentials. Missing information or credentials delays application processing and may affect your chances for admission.
Applications and credentials submitted for admission become the property of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Keep a copy of your application for your personal records.
Official Transcripts
Please remember not to send in any credentials or information by fax as an alternative to official documentation (even if the deadline is tomorrow – they will not be accepted).
Official transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the issuing institution(s).
Incomplete applications cannot be reviewed until the necessary items are received. Most items sent by mail typically require 10 days to two weeks to reach our office, as well as additional time to be processed.
Keeping Your Mailing Address Current
You will receive mailings and important documents at the address you put on your application regarding admission, registration, and orientation, as well as other information. If your address changes after you’ve submitted your application, notify the Office of Admissions immediately at (303) 492-2451.
Keeping Your E-mail Address Current
List a valid and active e-mail address on your application. Keep your e-mail updated at all times. If your e-mail address changes or is no longer valid, notify the Office of Admissions by e-mail. Include your full legal name and birth date in your e-mail.
