Grade Changes

You can now submit a Grade Change online using your CAS login. Paper Grade Change forms are also available at Skyhawk Station.

Incomplete Grades

"Incompletes" are issued at the instructor's discretion -- you are not required to allow a student to take an "Incomplete" for any reason. You can allow students up to one year to complete the outstanding coursework (you are not required to give them the whole year).

Effective Fall 2021, If you agree to let a student take an Incomplete, you enter the grade of incomplete (I) in WebOPUS during the end of term grading period. You may use the Incomplete Grade Request form to outline the agreed-upon terms, including coursework they need to complete and the time frame for completing it, but you must still enter the grade of incomplete (I) in WebOPUS. 

  • An Incomplete will appear on a student's transcript with an "I" in place of a grade until one of two things happens:
    • The student completes the required coursework within the time allowed and you submits a Grade Change form to the Registrar's Office; or
    • The student fails to complete the required coursework, in which case the "I" will be changed to an "F" on their transcript.

What do you need to do once the student has completed the work? In order for the student to get a grade for the class, you need to submit a Grade Change form to the Registrar's Office (we need to manually change the grade from an "I" to whatever grade you have assigned). We will not accept Grade Change forms submitted by anyone other than the instructor. You can pick up a Grade Change form at Skyhawk Station. They will show you back to the Registrar's Office so that we can make the change for you.

Registration Overrides

As the instructor, you can give registration override for your courses. An instructor override will allow a student to register for a course if they have not satisfied the prerequisites, if the course requires instructor permission, and/or if the student does not satisfy a class (first-year, sophomore, etc.) or major restriction

Starting the first week of the term, the override also include an override for capacity.  You will find detailed directions for entering registration overrides via WebOPUS on our Registration Overrides page.

The Colorado Department of Education's Commission on Higher Education requires students to have 750 minutes of seat time for each credit hour they earn. In order to prevent the College from running afoul of accreditation standards, we cannot permit time-conflict overrides under any circumstances, even if the amount of overlapping time is very minimal. However, instructors may arrange for students to take Independent Study credits in lieu of one of the classes, and departments are free to grant substitutions so that Independent Study credits satisfy a particular major or minor requirement.

Registration Schedule

For most students, registration start dates are determined by earned credits. See the Registration Schedule for a detailed breakdown.

In order to prevent the College from running afoul of accreditation standards, we cannot permit time-conflict overrides under any circumstances, even if the amount of overlapping time is very minimal.

Uniform Schedule

Waitlists

Instructors do not need to manage their own waitlists they are all automated. All classes have an available waitlist with the exception of courses that have a required lab with a separate CRN (e.g. CHEM 150). Students do not need instructor permission to join a course's waitlist unless they would need an override to register for that course. For more information on course waitlists, please see our Waitlist Information for faculty and staff page.
