REGISTRAR’S OFFICE The Registrar’s Office is available to help your student with their academic needs, including enrollment verification letters, official transcript requests, registration help, graduation audits, various academic forms and enrollment certification for veterans and their dependents who are eligible for education benefits under the various GI Bill programs.
CWID and Trailhead Password Your student’s Campus-Wide Identification Number (CWID) is their student ID number. It is an 8-digit number used throughout their entire time at Mines. Students should memorize this number or have it with them at all times. The Trailhead Password is a password for the student web services. It is imperative that this password be kept private and used only by the student.
Course Registration To help ensure that each incoming undergraduate student is enrolled fulltime, typically between 12–17 credits, and on a path to graduate in four years, the Registrar’s Office creates a schedule for the first term based on the student’s interest area indicated on the admission application. Registration changes can be

made at the beginning of the semester, but keep in mind, space is tight and changing classes may mean losing a seat in a required class. It is strongly recommended that students speak with their advisor before making changes to their schedule close to term start. Schedules are based on all applicable transfer credit, including AP and IB test scores. Transfer credits from other higher education institutions are typically processed within 10 business days of receipt of an “Official Transcript,” while AP and IB credits are typically received and applied to student records during the first two weeks of July. Students should make sure that “OFFICIAL” transcripts and scores are sent to Colorado School of Mines. Both physical and electronic copies of transcripts are accepted. For students who are officially recognized as varsity athletes, no classes are scheduled after 4 p.m. to avoid conflicts
