Undergraduate Checklist for Success

  • Application: Application deadlines vary by program. Please contact your enrollment counselor for application deadlines. Questions? Phone 303.458.4300 or 1.800.967.3237 or email bachelors@regis.edu. The Undergraduate Application is available online at www.Regis.edu/cpsugapp.
  • Submit Writing Sample: All new students must submit a writing sample with the Application for Admission. The writing sample is evaluated in order to place you in the correct level of English courses you must complete during your first semester of enrollment.
  • Submit Unofficial Transcripts: An admission decision cannot be rendered without unofficial transcripts submitted with your Application for Admission.
  • Request Official Transcripts: To complete your admission file and to be fully admitted, you must submit official transcripts from your high school or request official transcripts from all accredited institutions from which you want transfer credits:
  • Transcript request forms are included with your application materials. Official transcripts must be sent directly from your previously attended schools to the CPS Admission Office because transcripts are private records of your academic performance.
  • Transfer credit cannot be evaluated or awarded until all official transcripts are received.
  • Obtain Credit for Prior Learning: If you are interested in earning credit for previous learning and experience, you may utilize testing or portfolio options.
  • Arrange Tuition Payments:
  • For Financial Aid, fill out the Financial Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Questions? Contact us at 303.458.7420 or 1.800.568.8932, x 7420.
  • For the Deferred Payment Option, pick up appropriate forms at an CPS Service Desk or online at www.regis.edu/studentaccounts (select Due Dates and Forms). Submit forms to the CPS Service Desk at any campus location or send to the Office of Student Accounts.
  • Sponsored Billing: If your employer has an agreement with Regis, you will need a letter of authorization from your employer: complete the Sponsored Billing Tuition Deferment Form available online at www.regis.edu/studentaccounts (select Sponsored Billing)
  • Sign up for your Regis Net/WebAdvisor Account: Go to http://insite.regis.edu. Click on the RegisNet Account link to set up your account. This is your connection to many Regis CPS links including registering for class, paying your tuition, obtaining your grades, your Regis email box, and much more.
  • Attend New Student Orientation: The CPS Undergraduate Program provides many resources for student success. To become familiar with them, take time to view the New Student Orientation at http://spsundergradorientation.org before beginning your first class. Your advisor will also review these resources with you periodically.
  • Register for Class : Work with your enrollment counselor or advisor to select and enroll in your first class. If you have been out of college for five years or more and/or have fewer than 30 transfer credits, you must enroll in ED205 Adult Learning during your first semester in the Undergraduate Program. ED205 introduces students to theories of adult learning, strategies for success, and opportunities for writing and research. Credit earned may be applied toward your degree plan and financial aid eligibility. ED205 is strongly encouraged for all students new to accelerated learning. Students with recent college experience or more than 30 transfer credits may choose courses listed in this Guidebook or at https://webadvisor.regis.edu.
  • Obtain Course Module, Overview, and Books :
  • Every course uses a module/overview as a guide to course content. It is important to obtain the module/overview and your books prior to the first night of class.
  • First Night Assignments and required textbooks are outlined in the module/overview. You may download the module/overview from www.regis.edu/spsundergrad.
  • All courses have a minimum of one textbook. You may order books through the Follet Bookstore at 303.458.4150 or 1.800.798.4153 or online at www.regis.edu/bookstore, or purchase them at the Lowell, Denver Tech Center or Colorado Springs campuses.
  • The New Century Handbook (latest edition) is the accepted English writing guide used in CPS Undergraduate courses. It provides assistance with grammatical questions and bibliographic citations. Every student is encouraged to purchase a copy of The New Century Handbook for use throughout their program at Regis.
  • Complete First Night Assignment: All CPS courses are accelerated so there will be a reading and writing assignment due for the first class session. Your assignment will be listed in the course module/overview (see previous section). Note: Online students do not have a First Night Assignment but will have assignments due the first week.
  • Speak with Your Faculty Advisor: Once your transcripts are received and evaluated, you will be assigned an advisor. Your advisor will assist you with your degree plan, identify required course work, and discuss options for completing your degree.
