    BASKETBALL GAMES AFFECT CAMPUS TRAFFIC AND PARKING

    Despite our best efforts to facilitate entry and exit of CU basketball
    traffic, roads and parking lots near the Coors Events Center can be
    overwhelmed by vehicles on campus for a game. Pre-game traffic begins one
    hour before tipoff. Post game traffic may continue up to an hour after a
    game ends. Most weekday games start at 7 p.m. Visit http://www.cubuffs.com
    for the men's and women's basketball schedules.

    CULEARN: GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE BY REQUESTING YOUR COURSES EARLY

    Avoid the start-of-the-semester crunch and reserve your CULearn courses now
    for the spring '10 semester. Requests for official (SIS) courses should be
    made through the Faculty Tool Kit channel, found under the "Courses" tab in
    CUConnect. You can request blank courses, or courses based on a course
    template already in the system dating as far back as two years (spring '08).

    CLASSROOM MEDIA KEY REQUESTS SIMPLIFIED

    In order to simplify and add more convenience for customers, ITS will now
    Issue master keys to those making new classroom media key requests. This
    will allow instructors, staff and TAs to possess just one key to open all
    media cabinets and closets. Already-issued room-specific keys will still
    open the associated media cabinets and closets. If you possess a key with
    the serial number 01272, it is a master key. Learn more at
    http://www.colorado.edu/its/classrooms/
