Special Action Forms are used for current and future-term student record changes that academic offices cannot handle themselves. The deadline for SAFs is the last day of classes. This means decisions are finalized and required signatures are dated as of听the last day of classes. After the last day of classes, change of record forms (CORs) should be used to request record changes.

Once a听student's assigned enrollment dates are in progress or complete, you may submit an SAF if:

  • You need to make a change to the student's registration, but you don't have access to make it yourself.
  • You need to change the class section after the drop deadline.

Change of Record forms are for past-term student record changes and for current-term class adds after grade rosters have been created.听鈥婼ubmit a COR in the following situations:

  • You need to make any academic record change after the last day of classes (e.g., add, drop, change grading basis or variable credits, expunge, etc.), including changing the submitted听grade for a student whose record can't be modified using the grade change workflow.
  • You need to add a student to a class after the Monday before finals. (Note: The COR must include the student's final grade听because the student won't appear on the grade roster.)

Contact Kaysie Larson (Kala3988@colorado.edu) to initiate the COR/SAF process.

Students should not use online special action forms or special action/change of record spreadsheets to submit requests for themselves. Online special action forms submitted by students will be rejected.
