Planning for the year ahead

Summer Session

Planning ahead
Although the spring semester is still in its early stages, many students are already looking forward to their next steps. Whether they are thinking of getting a job, taking on some extra classes, or just wanting to get away during breaks, there are many ways to support your student and help them figure out how to plan for their goals!

Here are some dates and events for you and your student to be aware of as you look ahead to the rest of the year:

Summer Session

If your student is looking to get ahead in their required classes or just want to explore an interesting topics class, suggest that they consider summer session classes!

Spring Break

Even though we are only a few weeks into the spring semester, students are already thinking about and planning for their spring break! This year, spring break will be March 27-31. As you and your student talk about potential plans for this break, remember that classes will still be held on the days before and after the break. View the academic calendar

 

 

Tutoring and Academic Help

Many students realize after the first few weeks of attending a class that they may need some extra support in order to succeed in that subject. Fortunately, CU provides a variety of academic resources for students to take advantage of for free or low costs, ensuring that they can succeed both academically and personally! Explore tutoring options

 

 

Reminder: Marinus Smith Nominations Are Open
Named after a 19th century Boulder resident who helped make the founding of CU Boulder possible, the Marinus Smith Award is presented to CU Boulder faculty, advisors, and staff members who make a positive impact on the lives of students. Nominees must advance the quality of education and the undergraduate experience, model CU Boulder values, and demonstrate excellence in their service.

Students are invited to submit nominations for CU Boulder professionals that they feel have made a difference in their time here at CU. This is a great way to say "thank you" to a teacher or staff member who has shown their care and concern for students and their success. All recipients are recognized in a ceremony towards the end of the spring semester, and nominators are invited to attend and participate as well.

Nominations are open until March 1, and can be submitted here.
