Buff OneCard
Your Buff OneCard is your key to all kinds of services and events here at CU. It is your official university identification and as a student or employee you are required to carry it with you whenever you are on campus. Your Buff OneCard should be presented upon the request of any university official.
Child Care
The Children’s Center serves the children of university residents, students, staff, and faculty. For information on services, schedules, and rates, call the office or visit the website. Drop-in childcare is available at the Student Recreation Center while parents use the rec center facilities.
Events Calendar
The University of Colorado Boulder Events Calendar is a comprehensive listing of events on campus, or associated with campus programs.
International Students
International Student and Scholar Services welcomes over 1500 international students-from over 80 different countries-to CU-Boulder every year. If you are an international student, visit the website or stop by for help with visa questions or for suggestions (including English as a second language assistance and information on international student clubs) on how to get the most out of your stay in the United States. ISSS is a part of the Office of International Education located on the third floor of the Center for Community.
Jobs
For many students, a job is a necessity. Many CU-Boulder students work at least part time to help meet their school expenses. If you are looking for a job, check the student employment website.
Jury Duty
Any person 18 years or older who lives in Colorado and obtains a Colorado driver license or registers to vote is considered a resident for jury duty purposes. If you are summoned for duty, be sure to inform your professors right away. Faculty members should accommodate students who are called for jury duty.
Pets
Except for trained service dogs, no pets or animals (including amphibians and reptiles) are allowed in the residence halls. Aquariums no larger than 10 gallons containing fish or turtles are permitted.
Student Affairs
The Division of Student Affairs’ primary focus is to create a positive learning environment that fosters successful educational and personal development of all students, both in and outside of the traditional classroom. Student learning and success is enhanced when the academic environment and community support students’ full development as individuals—not just as isolated intellects—and when students are seen as important partners in the learning experience. For a complete listing of services offered, visit the student affairs website.
Transportation
"Boulder is by far one of the easiest places to get around without a car—especially during your freshman year of college."
Buses
You don't need to park it—and all you need is your Buff OneCard to ride for free! Most buses run every 10 to 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays and weekends, but schedules do vary.
