Submit the Course Selection Survey emailed to your colorado.edu email address from qualtrics_survey@cusurveys.colorado.edu with your 4 course choices. We will try to get you into your 1st choice preference for a RAP course, but you may be given another choice you selected if there is an issue getting you into your 1st choice preference (e.g. the course filled before you requested it). If you want to include comments or concerns with your course choices, please feel free to do so. The more information we have the better, however please know that it may not be possible to honor all requests. If you need to make a change to your RAP course preferences after submitting the survey, please email creativeminds@colorado.edu.

How to register for your RAP class during New Student Orientation (NSO):

In Person NSO

After meeting with your advisor, you will have the opportunity to meet with a RAP Program Coordinator to enroll in your RAP class. RAP Program Coordinators will be located in Eaton Humanities - HUMN Room 135 during new student orientation dates.

Virtual NSO

Virtual NSO students will be sent a Zoom link to connect to a session with their advisor the day before their NSO session. A separate Zoom link will be sent for RAP course registration to meet with RAP Program Coordinators to select a RAP class. Upon connecting via Zoom, you will join a waiting room, and the host will let you join the meeting once they are free to meet with you. You may need to wait approximately 15 minutes before being connected to the Program Coordinator if the sessions are busy, or there may be no waiting period before being connected. Please contact Carmen Jura at carmenj@colorado.edu if there are any issues connecting to a Program Coordinator for RAP course registration during a virtual NSO.
