Tuition Due Dates
Bills become available in Buff Portal (CUBill&Pay for authorized payers) by the second Thursday of each month after you register for classes. Payment is due on the 5th of the following month. Postmarks and post-dated checks are not honored. Dates may be subject to change without notice.
See the Bursar’s Office website for important dates.
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) notation 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 by the "drop without penalty" deadline. If you fail to attend, you may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor; however, this is not guaranteed. 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.
Grade Replacement Policy
You may be eligible for grade replacement if you are a degree-seeking or non-degree student at CU Boulder who earned a C- or lower (undergrads), or a C+ or lower (grad students) in your most recent prior attempt of a course (W notations don’t count). Grade replacement is applied automatically at the end of each term for eligible courses and students. Law students are not eligible for grade replacement. Learn more about CU Boulder’s grade replacement policy.
If you have questions about the policy, contact our advisors at ceadvise@colorado.edu or schedule an appointment.
