In general, if you wish to take a course that is restricted to students with certain majors (IPHY is the most common), it is likely that you will be given permission to enroll if seats are still available once the semester has started.

Please follow the steps below:

  1. First, contact the department or instructor to ask for permission to take the course as a non-degree-seeking post-baccalaureate student. (For IPHY courses, send an email to听IPHYinfo@colorado.edu.) If the course has prerequisites that you have completed at another institution, include the relevant transcript to show that you have met the prerequisites.
