CU Denver does not require that you formally confirm your intent to enroll by a certain deadline. But unless you have a complete financial aid application on file, you will need to pay a tuition deposit before registering for classes.
New student enrollment information
For Maymester, Summer, and Fall 2012
Prior to the start of the registration period which begins in late spring, you will be prompted to activate a new portal account called UCDAccess where you can find your registration time assignment, search for courses, pay the required enrollment deposit, register for classes, and more. You will receive an email when UCDAccess is operational for your term of enrollment.
Information about enrollment can be found in the "Your Next Steps" brochure:
