Remote Resources for Current Students, Faculty and Staff:

In response to COVID-19, CU Boulder will conduct classes remotely throughout the duration of the spring 2020 semester. These resources will help you learn and work remotely, and stay informed about campus-level updates and operations.

Student Resources

As CU moves to remote learning, we want you to know that CMCI faculty and staff are here to help you continue learning. Many questions about campus-level operations are addressed on CU Boulder’s website.

Graduate students can find specific information on topics including remote instruction, funding, accademic and graduation processes and more on through the Graduate School’s website. Additional college-level resources and tips are below.

Communicate and engage. Let faculty know about your situation so they can help you find any additional resources and accommodations you may need. And try to engage often with other students and faculty via online discussions and through streamed or virtual class meetings. This will help you continue to have a sense of connection and get more from each course.
Make a plan for how you will approach online learning. Consider when, where and how you will devote time to each course. Success in online learning means you need to build structure into your daily schedule to get the work done. Remember that faculty may require synchronous meetings during your class time. They will communicate with you about their expectations, but don’t assume all learning will be done independently.
Prioritize your mental and physical health. CU Boulder offers a number of mental health resources. Visit the campus support resources page, or go to Counseling and Psychiatric Services.

Our campus will continue to provide support services to students throughout the semester, including academic advising for undergraduate students, which will be available via phone or Zoom. View a full list of support services »

Undergraduate Advising

The CMCI advising team remains committed to helping you during this challenging time. Although we will not have face-to-face appointments, you will be able to meet with your advisor through a variety of different formats, including LiveChat, Zoom, Google Hangouts, or in some cases, phone, all of which can be booked through Buff Portal Advising. In addition, your advisor will be increasing appointment offerings for the remainder of the semester and will be available to answer your emails during business hours.

As always, it is best to review your degree audit prior to your appointment with your advisor. You can register for summer courses now and registration for fall 2020 begins on March 30. Be sure that you know your enrollment date and that you have an appropriate selection of courses in your shopping cart ready to go.

Enjoy the rest of the semester and remember, we are here to help!

CMCI Peer Advisors

Peer advisors are current CMCI students who have been trained to help answer general advising questions you may have, especially when you don't have time to ask your advisor. If peer advisors don't have immediate answers for your specific questions, they will go above and beyond to get that answer for you. Peer advisors are available to all students via LiveChat on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you have any questions, please email us.

Remote learning may mean using technology that is new to you. Faculty may ask you to use Zoom, VoiceThread and other technologies in your online courses. Testing these technologies out before you need to use them can help make things easier.
