Stops on Your Records/Registration
If you owe the university an outstanding balance, a financial stop may be placed on your student record. This stop can prevent:
- Class registration
- Drop/add activity
- Transcript requests
- Diploma release
Common reasons for financial stops include:
- Unpaid tuition or fees
- Returned checks
- Unpaid short-term or institutional loans
*** Enrollment is allowed if your prior term balance is less than $1,500.
If your balance is $1,500 or more, the balance must be paid below $1,500.00 to allow enrollment.
The entire amount must be paid in full for the financial stop to be removed.
All students who register for classes at CU Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus agree to the Tuition and Fee Agreement Disclosure during registration in UCDAccess.
I need to order a transcript, but I owe a past-due balance.
In compliance with Colorado House Bill 22-1049, you can complete a Transcript Hold Appeal Form to request that CU Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus review your circumstances for the release of your transcript.
