Welcome Parents

Welcome to the University of Colorado at Boulder Parent web site; your "portal" to the University and your "virtual" office on campus.

Parents are very important members of the CU-Boulder Family. Our goal is to be your link to news, information, policies, programs, and volunteer opportunities. We want you to stay connected with the University and view you as invaluable partners in promoting student success.

Summer 2009 Send Offs are Coming!

The CU-Summer Send-Off Program has been an important part of the University's efforts to welcome new students and their parents and ease their transition to college life in Boulder. Typically these events will be scheduled around the United States in July and August to avoid Summer Orientations. Watch this site for more information soon!

Family Weekend: October 16, 17 & 18, 2009

Family Weekend 2009 is October 16, 17, and 18. This annual fall event provides an opportunity for you to visit your student's campus home, talk with university staff, attend classes and presentations, tour the campus, cheer the Colorado Buffaloes to a Big 12 victory against Kansas and meet other CU-Boulder Families.

Watch for on-line registration in early June, 2009 and be sure to find lodging now if needed. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the Office of Parent Relations at 303-492-1380 or write us at parents@colorado.edu. We hope to CU here!
