Start planning early!
It's important to plan your class schedule early each semester and register as soon as you can. Priority registration appointments (date and time) are issued prior to open registration, based on the number of credits completed so be sure to find your priority registration appointment in your UCDAccess student portal prior to each semester's class registration period.
It's always a good idea to meet with your academic advisor to answer any academic questions and to periodically check in on your degree progress. You can also track your own degree progress by running a degree audit in UCDAcccess, by reviewing your major's undergraduate degree map for suggested course pathways, and by consulting the course catalog to learn more about specific classes and programs. If you are undeclared or thinking about
switching majors, explore CU Denver programs and make sure you're
taking the right classes each semester. CU Denver also also offers Open Educational Resources (OER), providing free and low-cost learning resources for students.
Log in to your UCDAccess student portal using your university credentials, and resolve any holds on your account.
If you forgot your password, you can use the password reset tool.
If you're still having trouble logging in, you can contact the IT Service Desk for help.
Use the class search tool to find available classes and add them to your enrollment shopping cart.
Important: Please be mindful of the different course formats associated with class sections and compare them to find the best fit for your needs. Use the Course Format Guide to compare features.
You can register for classes beginning on your specified registration appointment date and time, all the way through open registration. Once it's your time to register, head back into UCDAccess to finish enrolling.
Priority registration dates are based on the number of credits completed and begin on the dates below. Registration times are randomly assigned in fifteen minute time slots.
Important: Please check your student profile in your UCDAccess student portal to find your student-specific priority registration date and time.
Please Note: Registration dates are subject to change.
