Every year, our office receives questions about how we're identifying confirmed students who've decided not to come to ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder. Here's a summary of our current methods:

  • Ongoing: Staff are encouraged to submit a new student cancellation intent form if an incoming student tells them they're not coming to ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥. The student receives an email advising them to complete the term change request form on their application status page or email admissions@colorado.edu.
  • Mid-summer: The New Student & Family Programs Office (NSFP) emails students who were batch preregistered to tell them they will be billed (sent to pre-ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ and ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ email addresses). Students not planning to attend are advised as above.
  • Early August: NSFP emails students who haven't done any of the following (sent to pre-ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ and ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ email addresses): checked their ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder email, completed the online experience, signed a housing contract, completed preregistration, or done self-service registration. Students not planning to attend are advised as above.
  • Mid-August: Students who still haven't taken action are dropped from their classes.
  • Mid-September: Students who aren't enrolled are discontinued.

Our office continues to work with ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ departments on other methods to drop/discontinue students who are not planning to attend. If you have questions, please email registrar@colorado.edu.
