Be a CU-Boulder Student for a Day
CU-Boulder Student for a Day program provides you and your family the opportunity to attend a sample lecture, take a walking tour of CU-Boulder, attend a panel discussion, meet with campus representatives, and eat lunch on campus.
Program Fee: $20 per person program fee payable by cash or check at check-in. This fee covers parking, light refreshments in the morning and an all-you-care-to-eat lunch in one of our campus dining halls.
Register: To register for an event, students must log in to their MyCUBoulder account. Family members should call the Office of Admissions at 303-492-6301 for assistance.

Parking: Euclid Avenue AutoPark (Lot 205) next to the University Memorial Center on Euclid Avenue. You will receive an all-day parking validation at check-in. (Parking is $1.75 per hour without this validation.)
If you are unable to attend one of these dates, consider our Daily Information Sessions and Campus Tours offered on most weekdays and Saturdays. This program is not designed for schools or organizations. If your group (eight or more people) would like to visit campus, go to Ralphie's Group & Community Visits page.
