Welcome CHHS Students
Partnering with students to support student success
Starting college is a giant step. Finishing college is an accomplishment that has the power to change your life. Academic advisors are here to support you at every step of the way. Our academic advising team are experts on navigating all aspects of higher education. Work with our team early and often to ensure you are on track academically and have a trusted partner all along the way.
Fall 2025 Dates & Deadlines
Welcome to the Fall 2025 semester CHHS students! As we kick off another semester, we wanted to make sure you were aware of these important upcoming dates and deadlines that may impact your journey – if you have any questions, please connect with your academic advisor for support.
- Mandatory Participation Verification Policy – MSU Denver is required to ensure that all students have actively participated in their courses due to Title IV regulations. Students who have not participated will be administratively dropped from the course by the participation deadline. For Fall 2025 full-semester courses, this is Wednesday, September 3. Make sure to check your syllabus to see how your faculty define participation in their courses!
- Not in a full-semester course? Check the Fall 2025 Part of Term Dates, the Census/Last day to drop date is also the participation deadline!
- Self-Registration & Drop Deadlines – if you need to make any adjustments to your fall schedule, pay close attention to these dates:
- Sunday, August 24 – last day to waitlist for Fall 2025 full-semester courses
- Monday, August 25 – last day to self-register for Fall 2025 full-semester courses
- Monday, August 25 – last day to drop Fall 2025 full-semester courses and receive a 100% refund
- Wednesday, September 3 – last day to drop Fall 2025 full-semester courses and receive a 50% refund
- Withdrawal Deadline – the last day to withdraw from Fall 2025 full-semester courses is Thursday, November 20.
- Drop vs. Withdraw – if you drop a course from your fall schedule prior to September 3, it will not appear on your transcript in any way, shape, or form. If you withdraw from a course between September 4 and November 20, the course will still show on your transcript with a grade of “W” – it will not impact your GPA but will impact your completion rate.

CHHS Peer Mentoring Program
The CHHS Peer Mentoring Program was first piloted in Spring 2024 with a second pilot running in Spring 2025. We are excited to be moving out of the pilot phase and launching our next cohort in Fall 2025! We are currently accepting applications for both mentees (those receiving mentoring) and mentors (those providing mentoring).
Benefits of Peer Mentoring
There are many benefits to engaging in a peer mentoring program, for both mentees and mentors! Mentees are provided support to grow their academic skills, connect with campus resources, and foster a sense of belonging. Mentors have the opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills while guiding and supporting first-year students through all the facets of higher education.
Mentee Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to be selected as a mentee in the Fall 2025 CHHS Peer Mentoring cohort, students must meet the following requirements:
- Be an undergraduate first-year, first-time student at MSU Denver who started in Summer or Fall 2025;
- Be enrolled in Fall 2025 courses;
- Submit a Fall 2025 Mentee Application by July 31, 2025 (the application is now closed)
What does it mean to be an undergraduate first-year, first-time student? It means that you first started in classes at MSU Denver either in Summer 2025 or Fall 2025 and that you didn’t attend another college or university prior to starting at MSU Denver (including community colleges). While we hope to expand our peer mentoring program to include first-year transfer students in the future, at this phase in the program’s development we are focusing our efforts on first-year, first-time students.
Mentor Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to be selected as a mentor in the Fall 2025 CHHS Peer Mentoring cohort, students must meet the following requirements:
- Completed at least 2 semesters at MSU Denver prior to Fall 2025;
- Registered for Fall 2025 classes;
- Be in good academic standing at MSU Denver with a cumulative GPA of 2.20 or higher;
- 60+ credit hours earned (junior or senior standing);
- Submit a Fall 2025 Mentor Application by July 31, 2025 (the application is now closed)
Each peer mentor will be assigned a cohort of mentees (between 10 to 15 students, depending on mentee interest).
Additional Resources
