REGISTER and PAY FOR YOUR EXTENDED STUDIES ENROLLMENT

If you know your 9-digit UCCS Student ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN), and if you have taken Extended Studies courses through UCCS in the recent past, you may already be authorized to register for an Extended Studies course. Begin with Step 2 below; if the system says you are not authorized to enroll, please send an e-mail to LAS Extended Studies at lases@uccs.edu which contains your name, Student ID, the course you wish to register for, and the semester. LAS Extended Studies will send you a confirmation that your Extended Studies authorization has been set-up in the Student Online Center (note: this may take up to 2 business days). Then return again to Step 2 and proceed from there.

If you have not taken any courses through UCCS and you do not have a UCCS assigned Student ID, please begin with Step 1.

  1. Follow this link to the online Application for Extended Studies — Academic Credit Admission. Complete all fields and submit. NOTE: This is only the first step in your registration. Wait for the UCCS Office of Records and Registration to e-mail your 9-digit UCCS Student ID to you (this may take up to 2 business days). Your Student ID will be e-mailed to the e-mail address you provided on the online admission form.
  2. Go to the Student Authorization page at the Student Online Center, and click the link on the left that says "Forgot your PIN? Click here." On the next page, enter your 9-digit Student ID in the appropriate box and click Submit. Your 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be immediately e-mailed to every e-mail address you have on file with UCCS. (Please note, this is an automated messaged from our system and often gets picked up by spam filters. If you do not see the e-mail in your inbox, check your spam folder.) Go back to the Student Authorization page at the Student Online Center, enter your 9-digit Student ID and your 4-digit PIN in the appropriate fields and click Submit. You will then enter the WELCOME PAGE at the Online Student Center.
  3. Among the blue navigation buttons at the bottom of the page, the "Registration" button will be highlighted in red. Click on it.
  4. At the Registration Menu page, click on the blue "Register" button.
  5. At the next page, change the "Academic Unit of Registration" radio button to "Extended Studies". Make sure the "Term" radio button indicates the semester you wish to enroll in. Then click the "Submit" button.
  6. At the next page, add the five-digit CALL NUMBER to the appropriate box and click the "Add" button. (Note: Do not enter the course number, e.g. ECON 101; ONLY THE FIVE-DIGIT CALL NUMBER WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE SYSTEM. If you don't know the call number for your section, you can either 1) go to the LAS Extended Studies home page and select the link for Open Enrollment Courses for the appropriate term to search for the course you wish to register for; 2) go to the UCCS Course Information Center to search for the course you wish to register for; or, 3) request the call number by contacting the LAS Extended Studies office at lases@uccs.edu.)
  7. The next page will show you your enrollment. Click on the "Next" button.
  8. The next page is labeled Registration — Next Step . Read the note addressed to Extended Studies students. Then click on the "Account Balance/Payments" button.
  9. PAYING YOUR TUITION: For Spring 2009, balances for completed registrations will not appear until approximately December 20, 2008. If you are registering after this date, your balance should appear within about 24 hours after you complete your registration. You must wait until you see a non-zero balance before making any kind of payment-otherwise your payment may refund to you. Continue checking your online account until you see a non-zero balance, then make your payment. Your payment is due as soon as your balance appears in your online account. Please follow the steps to complete a credit card payment or an Electronic Funds Transfer through your online account. If you are not able to make a payment by either of these methods, please contact Pamela Mead Krull in the Bursar's Office at (719) 262-3412 to arrange a payment by an alternate method as soon as possible.

    For more information on Extended Studies billing and payment, visit the Student Financial Services information page.

    FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION: Most Extended Studies courses are not approved for Financial Aid through UCCS. In these cases, credit hours taken by a full-time UCCS student will not count toward that student's load on campus. For a full-time UCCS student, a reduction in load could result in a reduced financial aid award. Please contact a financial aid counselor before enrolling if you have any questions. In some cases, a surplus in financial aid monies can be applied to Extended Studies tuition.

    If you are able to use your financial aid to pay your Extended Studies tuition, you must notify Pamela Mead Krull in the Bursar's Office at (719) 262-3412 of your intention to use financial aid funds immediately after you register. If you are registering after January 9, 2009 (for Spring 2009) you must first confirm with your financial aid counselor that you still have aid available to use.
