Non-Degree Option
All Non-Degree students, regardless of residency, will be charged a flat rate of $847 per credit hour. No additional fees will be assessed by the Post-Baccalaureate program. Colorado residents should note that Continuing Education courses are not eligible for the College Opportunity Fund (COF).
-->The online post-baccalaureate program in Applied Computer Science offers online computer science courses à la carte in collaboration with Continuing Education (CE). Students who pursue this route have access to all classes offered by the program provided that course prerequisites are met. If a student chooses to enroll in the degree program, these courses can transfer into the degree-seeking program and be applied to their degree.

Deadlines and procedures for non-degree seeking students may differ from those in the post-baccalaureate degree program. All official dates and deadlines conform to the CU Academic Calendars.

Steps to Apply
Non-degree Continuing Education students may enroll for any of the classes in the online course list and should register for section 750. All CSPB courses are equivalent to their CSCI counterpart. On-campus students pursing a Computer Science degree are not eligible to enroll in these CSPB Continuing Education classes.
1. Check Prerequisites and Transfer Credits
CSCI prerequisites listed in the CU Course Catalog must be met prior to enrollment in a given course. Non-degree seeking CE students should always defer to the prerequisite requirements for CSCI rather than those for CSPB courses.
Students who have taken classes outside of CU may be eligible to transfer their credits to satisfy prerequisites. Eligibility can be verified by using Transferology to check course equivalencies.
2. Complete the Application
Complete the free, online application as a new, non-degree student on the Continuing Education website.
Do not forget to proceed to Step 3
3. Schedule an Appointment with an Advisor
After completing your application, non-degree seeking students must set up an appointment in order to meet with an advisor. This advisor will support you in enrolling in classes, and usually have same-day appointments available.
If you need help setting up an appointment, you can contact the Continuing Education Academic Advisors at ceadvise@colorado.edu or call (303) 492-5148. Please be aware, setting up an appointment is the fastest way to speak with an advisor.
