Undergraduate Non-Degree
What is the purpose of being a Non-Degree seeking student?
Non-degree programs work for people who want to take a course for professional development, personal interest, or simple curiosity. It is also a great way for students enrolled at other institutions to earn extra credit by taking summer classes at CU Denver.
Non-degree programs are also a good way to discover if CU Denver is right for you. Students who start with a Non-Degree program may ultimately decide to apply for traditional degree-granting undergraduate or graduate admission.
I was admitted as a Non-Degree student, now what?
You will want to register for classes! If you are attempting to register for a course that has a prerequisite where you have taken the equivalent at another institution, you will need to work with the Registrar's Office to get registered. For assistance, you can send an email to the Registrar’s Office at [email protected] with the following information:
- First and Last name
- CU Denver student ID Number (XXXXXXXXX)
- A completed Schedule Adjustment form for the course you are trying to add (i.e. BIOL 4990 001) – no signatures necessary.
- A copy of the transcript demonstrating that you meet the prerequisite
If you have any issues registering or questions about which classes are best for you, please set up an appointment to meet with a CUE&A Success Advisor. Your advisor will talk to you about setting up a class schedule based on your interests, discuss course credits with you, and refer you to various campus resources. CUE&A Success Advisors are great at discussing your goals with you and other potential major options.
