UC 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.
Additional information about enrolling at the Downtown Campus can be found in the Your Next Steps brochure which will be mailed to you prior to the start of the semester.

Spring and Summer 2010 -Maymester Students . . . since this transition will occur in Fall, you will still be using the current portals; SMART (Downtown Students) and Pinnacle (Anschutz Students).
