This date & time controls when you can register for your courses (move courses from your shopping cart into your official class schedule). The higher your academic level, the sooner you will be able to register for courses.

Important class and session deadlines are published on the Academic Calendar, in the Registration Handbook, and on the Office of Registrar website. Review your deadlines to avoid financial penalty/liability.

• Short courses are defined as courses that meet in an untraditional or condensed pattern within a semester. These courses are often called "intensive" course. These types of courses have special academic and financial deadlines that differ from full semester length courses.
• Click here for a detailed list of academic and financial deadlines for these types of courses. You can also locate these specific dates by logging into your myUCCS Portal. Under Records and Registration dropdown, select Access Student Self Services. Then select Register for Classes (add/drop). From the menu, select This Week's Schedule or Weekly Schedule, then click on the calendar icon under Deadlines.

• A Permission Number is a unique number students can be issued to enroll in a course they would otherwise not be eligible for. Permission numbers essentially take the place of the physical Course Change Form (Add/Drop Slip). Permission Numbers are issued by academic departments or by Academic Advisors.
• Review "Step 3: Class Search and using the Enrollment Shopping Cart" above for the Permission Number instructions.

• Refer to Course Deadlines page for additional details on enrollment deadlines and when waitlists are deleted.
• For full semester length classes, the only way for students to enroll in a class that is closed is by placing themselves on the waitlist. Students on the waitlist are automatically enrolled in the class if a seat becomes available or enrollment limits are increased. Instructors may accommodate students on the waitlist by requesting to increase their class enrollment limit, or by requesting that students be manually rolled into the class over the published limit.
   
• Waitlisting with multiple sections: The system will allow students to waitlist for more than one closed section of the same class. If a student is added from one section's waitlist, then they will be automatically dropped from the other section's waitlist. In addition, the system will allow students to fully register for an open section of a course and waitlist for another closed section of that same course. To do this, a student must enroll in the open section first before placing themselves on the waitlist for the closed section. If a student is waitlisted for a closed section and then registers for an open section after, the student will automatically be dropped off the waitlist for the closed section. Important: If a student is fully enrolled in an open section of a course and waitlisted for a closed section of that same course, the student will be dropped from the open section if they are added off the waitlist for the closed section (unless that specific class is repeatable for credit).
   
• Prior to waitlists being deleted: Instructors who wish to allow waitlisted students to enroll in their classes may contact their department assistant to request an increase in the enrollment limit, being mindful of the classroom space limit. Increasing the enrollment limit will allow students to roll into the class automatically (if they do not have other problems such as time conflicts, financial holds, etc.). If instructors do not want to raise the published limit but still want to allow waitlisted students to enroll, they should email the Office of the Registrar at registrar@uccs.edu to manually move students
   
• After waitlists are deleted: Students may enroll in a closed class by using a Course Change Form (Add/Drop Form) and obtaining instructor approval/signatures or by acquiring a Permission Number from the academic department that owns the class or their academic/program advisor. Refer to Course Deadlines page for additional details on enrollment/waitlist deadlines.
   
• After the waitlists are deleted through the Census Date:Students can obtain a Course Change Form (Add/Drop Form) signed by the instructor and bring the form to the Office of the Registrar, Main Hall, Room 108. Staff will enroll the students, if there are no holds that would prevent the enrollment; and, if the classroom capacity has not been met. The department may also issue a Permission Number to the student. The student can use the permission number in their myUCCS Portal enroll in the class. Permission numbers will only work through the Census Date of the course.
   
• After Census Date:Students can use an add slip (Course Change Form), obtain approval/signatures of the instructor, dean and Student Financials Services, and then bring the form to the Office of the Registrar for processing.
   
• Short Course/Class Waitlists: For short courses, the last day to waitlist aligns with the last day to enroll in the course. Waitlists will be deleted the following business day. Review the Short Course Deadlines page for date specific information.
