MSU Denver
Plenty of courses will continue to be offered remotely in conjunction with on-campus course offerings (subject to social-distancing guidelines). Online courses will be delivered in one of three formats:
There is also a traditional hybrid format (a mix of face-to-face classes and online requirements) that will also be offered. You can learn more about the various online delivery formats in the “Course Format” dropdown below, or you can use the Class Scheduler to find a course and delivery format that best suits your learning style. (Continue reading below for 2021 Registration guides.)
For more detailed information about using the Class Scheduler, view the Class Scheduler Guide
Go to the ‘Class Registration’ tab in Student Hub and click on ‘Student Detail Schedule’
Many 2021 courses have been changed to online delivery formats. Courses that are online will be labeled as “Online” in the ‘Type’ column. If you are in an online course, you will know whether it is standard online or “Synchronous” because the course format will be listed in the ‘Where’ column.
MSU Denver will continue with the same mixed approach to classes for the Summer 2021 term and return to offering more in-person courses for Fall 2021 (see Safe Return to Campus FAQ).
Some classes may still need to take place online. On-campus classes will be prioritized based on which require an in-person component to meet Student Learning Objectives (SLO).
Yes. Courses migrated to remote learning in spring and summer were functional and effective – over 97% of you remained active and engaged in your newly-remote courses. For fall, MSU Denver implemented course-design expectations to build upon the quality and simplicity of these courses. Existing online courses that meet these expectations deliver equivalent grade and withdraw rates as face-to-face courses, so we are confident you will experience real learning and preparation for your future – not just completion of requirements to get closer to a diploma.
We are evolving to provide you one of the most immersive, connected, and efficient online learning experiences available, and part of that evolution is to offer our courses within the most dynamic system available – Canvas. When launched starting this fall, it will noticeably improve the user experience for students.
Canvas is easy to use, and this video reviews its basic features. This video and direction from your instructor within your courses will also shape your understanding.
Also, we are confident in the very simple, efficient user interface within Canvas. We’ve been informed providing student-specific Canvas support simply isn’t necessary; however, we didn’t want to take any chances. For that reason, students – those familiar, uncertain, and uncomfortable with online learning – can contact ITS for support using Canvas. Contact information will be available in your Canvas courses.

Synchronous Online Learning
Log into Student Hub to view your current course registration. Online courses will be listed as SYNCH or Online and will not have a building assignment. In-person, on-campus courses will have a building assignment.
Taking all online classes does not impact your financial aid award. Students are eligible for the same types of financial aid whether taking classes online or on-campus.

Note: If there is a registration error (e.g. not meeting prerequisites), it will be displayed here.
Q. If I want a particular class, however the class is full, how can I get on the wait list?
You may pull a list of waitlist courses that are both open and full by selecting this option under “Course Status.”
1) Add your courses.
2) Click on “Generate Schedules.”

4) Click on “Send to Shopping Cart.” This will redirect you to the “Class Scheduler Registration Cart.”

If this does not take place, the student will be automatically dropped from the waiting list.
Q. What if I cannot find the classes that I am looking for within the options given?
All classes offered for the term will be available in Class Scheduler. To see if the class has open seats or a waitlist option, select “Open & Full w/Waitlist Open” under “Course Status.”

1) Visit the Faculty and Staff Hub.
2) Click on “Faculty and Advisors Menu.”
3) Log in using your MSU Denver credentials.
4) Click on “Class Scheduler Guest Mode.” This will redirect you to Class Scheduler.
Q. My Class Scheduler log in does not work. Who should I contact?
Q. Why can’t I see the “Shopping Cart” option similar to the student’s view?
The Shopping Cart option is not available for faculty and advisors. Faculty and advisors have access to Class Scheduler to better understand the registration tool that students utilize; this will ultimately help faculty and advisors walk students through the process if questions should arise. This tool is intended to allow students to feel empowered when planning their own schedules.
Q. Where are the prerequisite(s) located for classes?
When students add a course, the prerequisite(s) will be included with the course description.
Q. If a student does not meet the prerequisite(s) for a class, can the student add the class to their “Shopping Cart”?
Yes, if the student does not meet the prerequisite(s) for a class, the student may continue to add the class to their “Shopping Cart”. However, when the screen redirects to Banner for registration submission, an auto-populated error message will notify the student that the prerequisite(s) have not been met, therefore registration for that class cannot be completed.
Q. What happens when a class is cancelled?
When a class is cancelled, the class will be removed from Class Scheduler within one business day.
Q. Will Class Scheduler automatically time out after a certain amount of time?
If Class Scheduler is idle for 30 minutes, the software will automatically log the user out.
Q. What training options are available and who may I contact to schedule a training?
