Upcoming Enrollment Windows

With 6 eight-week sessions per year, you’ve got options of when to enroll in courses and the flexibility to take a break when life happens. The enrollment window opens 2 weeks before the courses start and close 2 weeks before they end. When you’re enrolled in the for-credit version of a course, all assignments are due on the last day of the eight-week session.

Summer 2025 Session 2 classes will be 5 weeks instead of 8 weeks. Ensure you have enough time to complete all course content before the for-credit session ends on Aug. 1. CU Boulder will not issue extensions for incomplete work.
