Legal Services
If you’re in need of legal assistance, you can consult with Legal Services. The attorneys provide legal counseling to students who pay full fees on matters such as landlord/tenant relations, small claims court, traffic violations, consumer affairs, simple wills, contracts, divorce, collections, criminal charges, and employment problems. They cannot advise you about tax laws, immigration, internal university problems, incorporations (small businesses), or real estate. In addition to counseling, advice, and other services, in-court representation is available in several types of cases.
Libraries
The University Libraries have the tools you need to create successful research papers and projects: personal research assistance, drop-in research workshops, access to writing help, and vast scholarly resources (online journal articles, books, and more). And don’t forget about the desktop computers, laptops available for checkout, group study rooms, 24/5 study space, and coffee shops. Take advantage of what the libraries have to offer! ucblibraries.colorado.edu
Lost and Found
Each building on campus has a lost and found. The lost and found is either maintained or organized by the building proctor. Contact the building proctor if you have found or are looking for lost property.
USPS mailboxes can be found all around campus. Stamps are available in the UMC in both the Ink Spot Copy Center and the CU Book Store.
