^ Petitioning is designed to provide students who experience unavoidable, extenuating circumstances, the opportunity to waive a University policy that, if enforced, would result in unsatisfactory academic progress or financial consequences. Non-degree students students must petition the Dean of Continuing Education. Degree students must petition the dean of the college in which they are enrolled and must have an instructor signature. If you’re dropping your courses due to extenuating circumstances, we encourage you to meet with a CE academic advisor.

Add, Drop and Withdrawal Info

Enrolled students must add or drop courses by the dates and deadlines listed in their program’s academic calendar. You may add, drop, or withdraw via Buff Portal or Class Search using the instructions outlined under Review Your Registration Actions. You may also submit an online withdrawal form or send an email to ceregistration@colorado.edu.

If you drop a class after the no-penalty deadline, a W (withdrew) grade will post to your transcript. If you fail to drop by the deadline you may receive a grade of F and you may be liable for any tuition and fees.

Administrative Drop Policy

Continuing Education allows faculty to administratively drop students who don't attend and/or participate in class during the first two weeks. This is done to allow as many engaged students as possible a spot in the class while also protecting students from paying for a course they forgot to drop. If your instructor uses this policy, it will be stated in their syllabus, but students are encouraged to reach out to their instructors with any questions.
