Parent Information

If your student registers for our CU Succeed Program, your student will be considered a non-degree seeking CU Denver student. Your student will be treated as a college student and they will be expected to handle themselves as a college student. Your student will follow the syllabus, and abide by all policies set forth by the college.

There may be tuition associated with your student's course. Please discuss this with your student prior to registering for the course. If there is tuition associated with the course, you will be asked to sign our Parent/Guardian Responsibility Form to ensure that all parties understand the financial obligation. Charges to student accounts will not go away due to non-payment; additionally, students are neither dropped nor withdrawn due to non-payment. Information on paying tuition can be found here

It is your student's responsibility to register and confirm that they are registered for any courses they wish to take. If you student decides that they do not want credit for the course, they will need to either drop it or withdraw from it by the semester deadlines. Students must adhere to the deadlines set forth by the University; there will be no exceptions. 

Credits earned for CU Succeed courses are not guarenteed to transfer in to other colleges or universities. Generally speaking, institutions that accept University of Colorado credits will accept those earned in CU Succeed courses.  Most of our courses are on the Guarenteed Transfer Pathways list. For more information about transferability, please see our information regarding transferring credits

Certain information regarding your student's academic record with the University of Colorado Denver is considered protected under federal law.

The Family Educational Right and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects all students, regardless of their age. As such, your student is the only person who is legally permitted to access their academic record. Even if your student is a minor, CU Succeed and the University of Colorado Denver can't disclose most information to anyone other than your student.

This includes:

  • CU Student ID number
  • Tuition Balance
  • Grades

Your student has been given the option to waive their FERPA rights; instructions on how they can do so will be sent to them, along with their student ID number, in the "Next Steps" email.
