You can drop all your courses prior to the first day of the semester without penalty by submitting a Semester Withdraw Form.

The form will route to the instructor and if approved it would be routed to a registration processor. If declined by the instructor or due to holds, you will receive a response via CMU email.
Before waitlisting for a class, it is suggested to look up alternative day/times or alternative courses needed for your degree.
To waitlist for a class:
Look Up Classes- Select your criteria, and click Search.
- Find your course and write down the CRN. This is the five-digit number in the first column of the page. In summer it will start with a 1 (example, 14324); Fall with a 2 (example, 25490); Spring with a 4 (example, 46392).
- Scroll to the top of the page and select 'enter CRNs'.
- Type in the CRN's in the box on the page. If you have another CRN to enter click 'Add Another CRN.'
- Click 'Add to Summary' once all CRN's are entered.
- Scroll to the course, change the Action to 'Waitlist'.
- Click 'Submit.'
- Review your schedule to ensure you have been waitlisted for the class.
IMPORTANT: Once waitlisted, it is your responsibility to check your Colorado Mesa University e-mail for notification when the class opens. The system will send you an e-mail within 10 minutes of an opening if you are first on the waitlist. Prior to the first week of class, you will have 72 hours to add the class. The week before classes begin the time limit drops to 48 hours. Once class starts, you will only have 24 hours to add. If you do not take action, you will be removed from the waitlist and the seat will be offered to the next person on the list. There may be occasions when you receive the email, but you can not add the class. This could be due to corrections, administrative processing, a faculty overrides, or your time limit expired. In these cases, you will need to re-add yourself to the waitlist.
During the winter and summer breaks, the Registrar's Office reserves the right to process the waitlist as needed to assist with enrollment. Prior to the first day of class, it is your responsibility to check your schedule to make sure you are enrolled in the courses you desire.
Classes with labs - The Registrar's Office processes all waitlists for classes with labs due to complications when only one of the two classes opens. The open spaces are given to the first person that can successfully register for both the class and lab. The Friday before classes start, the waitlist will be cleared to best ensure open classes fill. To enroll in classes with labs the first week, a student may choose from the open sections.
By adding or waitlisting for a class, you are responsible for payment of any new tuition charges. For detailed payment/billing information contact IRIS.

It is the student's responsibility to drop or withdraw by the published deadlines on the Important Dates page.
- Drop: Prior to the drop deadline, the course will not appear on the student's transcript. A student's tuition and course fees will be adjusted to reflect the courses remaining in the schedule. Dropping all classes will result in a $225 partial tuition assessment.
- Withdraw: After the drop deadline, a student can withdraw up to half way through the course. A withdraw will be denoted on the transcript with a grade of "W" and will not be used in any GPA calculations. The student is responsible for the full cost of tuition and course fees.
