Registration Guide

At the University of Denver, registration for Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters begins with Priority Registration for continuing students on week six of the quarter and runs for two weeks. Students are assigned a registration time approximately three weeks before registration begins for a subsequent quarter. Visit our main Registration page for more information.

• Academic Advising

  Faculty, advisors and other student services staff maintain online advising notes for students.

  • The purpose of this practice is to accurately and consistently document policy, procedures, practice and our interactions with students. Documenting advising notes allows advisors and university staff to:
    • Review notes on previous interactions with students from all areas in the University community
    • Ensure a shared understanding of the communication with the student
    • Support students through streamlined communication when working with a variety of constituents across campus
  • We encourage faculty and staff advisors to record notes after advising sessions with students.
  • Faculty and staff advising students on the quarter system* should record advising notes in the Inspire Advising System according to DU’s advising note guidelines.
  • *Faculty and staff advising students on the semester system should document advising notes in MyWeb.
• Approvals

  Registration Approvals provide information on alternate pin removal, course prerequisite/restrictions, credit and course load approval, transfer credit, concurrent enrollment and forms & special permissions. Visit our Registration Approvals page for more information.

• Closed Courses & Waitlist

  The Automatic Waitlist process allows for a more proactive approach in the communication and registration of classes. The waitlist feature offers students a fair and consistent way to enroll in a full class if openings occur. Students are automatically notified via email when a seat becomes available. The student has 24 hours to complete the registration transaction. If the student does nothing, the process drops the student and notifies the next student on the list.
