IUT Informational Course on Canvas

If you are interested in changing your major to a CMCI degree or pursuing a double degree with CMCI, we encourage you to enroll in our IUT informational course on Canvas. In the course, you will learn more about our degree programs and the application requirements for admission to CMCI.听

Deadlines

Intra-University Transfer (IUT) dates and deadlines vary by term. The date you complete an IUT Change/Add/Drop application may impact your tuition and/or graduation timeline.

IUT Change/Add Deadlines

You should submit an听听by the IUT Registration Access Deadline (Oct.听1, March 1听or June 1), for full IUT application consideration and the chance to enroll in restricted courses (when available).听You are eligible to apply听by the IUT registration access deadline, if you meet (or are听on track听to meet) all IUT Requirements by the end of the current term. Applications received听after听the registration access deadline are reviewed for admission on a space-available basis and admission is not guaranteed.听View all upcoming dates and deadlines听on the Undergraduate Advising IUT page.

IUT Requirement Repeat Policy

麻豆淫院 will have a maximum of three graded attempts to achieve the minimum grades for each IUT requirement, starting with the spring 2024 IUT application cycle. Please note that courses taken as pass/fail, will count as graded attempts. IUT requirement courses and minimum grades are set by each IUT college/school/program and are listed on their IUT webpage.

Each time a prospective IUT course is taken, it counts as one attempt toward fulfilling a specific IUT requirement. Therefore, students who have met or exceeded three attempts in an IUT requirement (not three attempts per course), without achieving the minimum grade, will have their IUT application denied and they will be ineligible to reapply to the same IUT college/school/program.

For example: If a student received failing grades in MATH 2510 twice and in SOCY 2061 once, they would be ineligible for an IUT into any major in Leeds and for the Strategic Communication major in CMCI.

Grade Replacement

The policy will include courses taken as part of听Grade Replacement. Therefore, students will only be permitted to retake an IUT requirement two additional times after their initial enrollment. However, students are permitted to retake courses that also happen to be IUT requirements,听 if they wish to improve their GPA or any other reason other than for consideration as part of their IUT application.

Exceptions

The following course attempts will not count as a graded attempt for an IUT requirement if changed by the deadlines listed on the CU Boulder Academic Calendar:

Dropped courses
Withdrawn (W) courses
Retroactive withdrawals
Transfer courses (taken outside of CU Boulder)
Advanced Placement (AP) courses
International Baccalaureate (IB) courses

What if? Audit

Another resource for students considering becoming a CMCI major听is to run a 鈥淲hat If鈥� audit on your program of choice. This will allow you to see how your complete classes will lay out within the CMCI major program requirements.

Dropping CMCI

The Intra-University Transfer (IUT) drop application requirements and deadlines differ from the IUT add/change application for CMCI and may have financial and听academic ramifications for students. The IUT drop application only听applies to听students who are pursuing degrees in at least听two different听colleges/schools/programs听and听wish to discontinue听one听major. For more information, deadlines听and the IUT drop application, please visit听the听CU Boulder Intra-University Transfer (IUT) webpage.

On-Track Registration

If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite course required by the major you are听pursuing, and you meet all other credit hour and GPA requirements, you will be eligible to register for restricted major courses during your registration window.

To be eligible, you must apply by:

Spring: Oct.1
Summer: March听1
Fall: June 1

One example of a student 鈥渙n track鈥�

You have a 2.500 or above cumulative CU GPA
Are currently enrolled in the prerequisite course for the major you are applying to and the grades will post at the end of the current term.
You are meeting the other requirements listed

If you are determined to be 鈥渙n track,鈥� you will be notified before your registration window and provided instructions on how to register for restricted courses if applicable for your major.

If you meet all IUT requirements at the end of the semester, your IUT application will be approved and you will be admitted to the college/school/program.
If you do not meet all IUT requirements at the end of the semester, your IUT application will be denied and you will be removed from major/college/school/program restricted courses.

Meet IUT student Matthew Mendoza

As a first-year student, Matthew Mendoza went into college with an open mind, planning to take as many classes as possible to try and find the right fit. After his first semester, he transferred out of an open option program within the College of Arts and Sciences and into CMCI.

I like the idea of being in a smaller college with a smaller major. . . . You鈥檙e able to be creative through media production, through strategy, whatever it may be."听
-Matthew Mendoza, strategic communication major
