What is a returning student?

A student that attended CMU/MSC for at least one semester as a degree-seeking student, has earned grade(s), left more than one semester ago and is returning with or without potential transfer credit.

Note: Note: If you previously attended as a concurrent student, you will complete the first-time undergraduate application

Away for one semester? You may not need to apply.

Students only away for one semester (excluding summer) will have a hold on their account. To remove the hold please submit the Stop Out Update Hold form to verify your residency, address and phone number. Please contact the Registrar's Office at [email protected] or at 970.248.1555 with any questions. Registration can be done once all holds have been resolved and a returning student application is not required.
