Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, to undergraduate students who were admitted to a bachelor's–accelerated master's program and had an expected undergraduate graduation term of Summer 2026.

Dear [first],

Our records indicate that you expected to complete the undergraduate requirements for your Bachelor's–Accelerated Master's (BAM) program in Summer 2026.

If this is still when you plan to graduate with your bachelor's degree, complete the steps below to continue with your master's degree. These steps need to be completed before the end of February so you're able to enroll in Summer 2026 classes when registration opens the first week of March.

Apply to graduate with your bachelor's degree.
Submit a master's continuation form.
Submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which should apply to your master's degree.

If your expected graduation term has changed, please complete a BAM program change form so we can update your records. If you're completing your bachelor's degree this semester, you'll need to complete the steps above by Sunday, March 1.

Students are considered for different types and amounts of financial aid when they become graduates students. If you're receiving financial aid, please note that your aid will be adjusted automatically when your student status changes.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Friday, Jan. 9: The Systems & Data Services team contacted departments with existing hold information.
Thursday, Jan. 22:
- Deadline for departments with existing holds to submit additions, changes or deletions.
- Deadline for departments to request a new advising hold (email your request to regsystemsdata@colorado.edu).
Tuesday, Jan. 27: Deadline for departments to submit SID lists for batch processing (if applicable).
Thursday, Jan. 29: The Systems & Data Services team begins setting advising holds and will complete this process no later than Feb. 17 for Summer and March 3 for Fall.
Friday, Feb. 13 at noon: Final advising hold deadline for Summer 2026.

We will begin setting Summer and Fall 2026 advising holds (a.k.a., advising service indicators) for continuing students on Thursday, Jan. 29. Once set, these holds will prevent students in those programs from registering until they've met with their academic advisor.

If your department would like to discuss creating a new advising hold for Summer or Fall 2026, email the Systems & Data Services team with the details of your request by Thursday, Jan. 22.

Review Your Holds

If your department currently uses advising holds, you should have received an email from the Systems & Data Services team to confirm the population and text of your hold. Reply with any necessary changes, additions or deletions by Thursday, Jan. 22.

If your department's advising holds are assigned using an SID list, submit your list by noon on Tuesday, Jan. 27. Lists submitted after that date will be processed in the order in which they're received, allowing at least two business days for processing.

Notify Your Students

To support student success, academic departments are responsible for notifying their students when an advising hold is placed and for providing a clear explanation of the steps the student must take to have it released.

If you wish to request an e-memo, student communications are distributed by Strategic Relations & Communications using CU Boulder Today and associated campus communication tools. Visit the CU Boulder Today website to view the different tools (e.g., CU Boulder Today stories and administrative e-memos) and submit your message for campus audiences.

Release Holds Promptly

Advising holds now include a timeline for release (e.g., "After you've met with your advisor, your hold will be removed within three business days"). Please remove the advising hold as soon as you can after the student has received advising to ensure compliance with this timeline.

For step-by-step instructions for both manual and batch removal, see our advising holds page.

We will be setting Summer & Fall 2026 advising holds for continuing students on Thursday, Jan. 29. Once set, these holds will prevent students in those programs from registering until they've met with their academic advisor.
