We've Extended Your COF Lifetime Hour Limit (Targeted Message) Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 08/29/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, to students whose COF lifetime limit was extended on their behalf.

Dear [first],

We noticed that you've exhausted your allotted 145 lifetime hours of COF funding toward your degree.

On your behalf, we've granted you an institutional extension that allows your COF funding to continue through Summer 2026. You don't need to take any additional action at this time. This semester's COF hours will be applied to your bill within 48 to 72 hours.

To Apply for Additional COF Hours

If you need COF hours beyond Summer 2026, you may submit a Colorado Commission on Higher Education waiver request to ask for additional hours.

To Postpone This Extension

To postpone this COF lifetime limit extension until your next semester of enrollment, email the COF support team by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025.

Please be aware that if you postpone the extension, you'll be responsible for paying the portion of this semester's tuition typically covered by COF funds.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025, to students who were still on a waitlist for one or more Fall 2025 Main Campus full-semester classes.

Dear [first],

You're still on a waitlist for one or more full-semester Main Campus classes.

Check Your Waitlist Position

What Happens Next

If a seat becomes available in your waitlisted class:

Between now and Aug. 29 at 5 p.m., the next eligible waitlisted student will be enrolled automatically. If you're enrolled automatically, you'll receive an email confirmation within 24 hours.
Between Aug. 30 and Sept. 7, contact the department offering the class to see if their policies allow them to enroll you manually. If not, you may want to remain on the waitlist so you're eligible for course reservation, which can guarantee you a seat the next time the course is offered.

On Monday, Sept. 8, waitlists are canceled. If you still aren't enrolled, you'll lose access to the class's online materials and be removed from the class roster. If you're eligible for course reservation, we'll email you a confirmation of your eligibility at the start of the next course reservation period.

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, to students who were on a waitlist for one or more full-semester Fall 2025 Main Campus classes.

Dear [first],

You're currently on a waitlist for one or more full-semester Main Campus classes. While you're on the waitlist:

Because you aren't enrolled in the class, you won't be charged tuition for it and it won't count toward your enrollment status (e.g., full time, half time).
You will, however, appear on the class roster and have access to the online class materials until waitlists are canceled on Sept. 8.

Check Your Waitlist Position

On the First Day of Class

Attend the first class meeting and tell the instructor you're on the waitlist. They may be able to advise you on your chances of being enrolled from the waitlist and whether you should continue to attend the class meetings.

What Happens Next

If a seat becomes available in your waitlisted class:

Between now and Aug. 29, the next eligible waitlisted student will be enrolled automatically. If you’re enrolled automatically, you’ll receive an email confirmation within 24 hours.
Between Aug. 30 and Sept. 7, contact the department offering the class to see if their policies allow them to enroll you manually.
On Monday, Sept. 8, waitlists are canceled. If you still aren't enrolled, you'll lose access to the class's online materials and be removed from the class roster. However, you may be eligible to use course reservation the next time it's offered to guarantee yourself a seat.
