If you do not complete the course by August 1, 2020, a registration hold will be placed on your account.
Beginning on Saturday, August 1, this hold will prevent you from adding or swapping fall classes or registering for future semesters. As a reminder, departments are continuing to adjust the fall schedule of classes to meet campus health and safety goals. Fall schedule adjustment for degree-seeking students starts Monday, August 3; open enrollment starts Monday, August 10.
Promise to Protect our Herd
At the end of the course, you will also be required to complete the Promise to Protect our Herd. This commitment outlines expectations and behaviors to help keep you, our campus community and our Boulder community safe.Ìý
As part of this commitment, you are expected to follow requirements and policies related to mitigating the risk/spread of infectious disease, including the Student Code of Conduct and ongoing guidance from public health officials, Medical Services and the University of Colorado Boulder.Ìý
Fall class registration holds
If you do not complete the course by August 1, 2020, a registration hold will be placed on your account. You will not be able to make adjustments or register for classes until you have successfully passed the course. The hold will be placed on all student accounts beginning Wednesday, July 15 and take effect on Saturday, August 1 if the course has not been successfully completed.
Please note: Once you have completed the course, it can take up to 2 hours to process the course completion and remove the hold from your account.Ìý
