What is a returning student?
A student that attended CMU/MSC for at least one semester, left more than one semester ago and are returning with or without potential transfer credit.
Note: If you are returning to CMU to complete the Nursing: RN to BSN degree, you MUST complete the Online RN-BSN undergraduate application.
Away for one semester? You may not need to apply.
Students only away for one semester (excluding summer) will have a hold on their account. To remove the hold, contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@coloradomesa.edu to provide an up-to-date address and any transfer information. Registration can be done once all holds have been resolved. A returning student application is not required.
