Safety
Please see www.colorado.edu/safety for information on how you can play a vital part in helping to ensure the Boulder campus is a safe place to live and work.
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.
Student Diversity
CU-Boulder is increasing racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity on campus among students, faculty, and staff.

Student Riots
Colorado law prohibits persons convicted of rioting from enrolling in state-supported universities/colleges for 12 months following the date of conviction. If a student has been suspended prior to the date of conviction by the state-supported institution of higher education for the same riot activity, the 12-month suspension shall run from the start of the suspension imposed by the institution. A state-supported college may also implement its own policies and procedures or disciplinary actions regarding students involved in riots.
