Beyond spring break

Next steps for spring break
As students finish up their last week of classes before spring break officially begins, it can be easy to push aside school and forget about it for the week. While your student should take time off to relax and have fun, it doesn't hurt to think about and get ahead on some important considerations! With fall class enrollment and finals coming up quickly, now is a great time to express support for your student and to encourage them to start thinking about their next steps. Here are some conversation topics and recommendations to bring up:

Move-Out

Now is a great time to start discussing move out with your student before end-of-year stress hits. Although students who live off-campus may have different timelines for moving out, students living in the residence halls will need to have moved out either 24 hours after their last final or by 1 pm on May 12, whichever comes first. More move-out policies from Housing

 

 

Enrolling in Classes

For students who will be taking classes in Fall 2017, registration dates will be coming up soon! Encourage your student to start looking for interesting courses and remind them to talk with their assigned academic advisor to make sure that they are staying on track for graduation and other academic or personal plans! Browse the schedule of classes

 

 

Resources for Finals

Finals may still seem far away to your student, but they come up faster than expected! CU provides a variety of academic resources to help students be successful, including tutoring, advising, and study areas. Encourage your student to get help if they are struggling in a class or just want extra support for exams! Find academic support

 

 

Graduation

Spring commencement is getting close! If your student is graduating in the spring semester or walking in the spring commencement ceremony on May 12, start talking with them about their graduation status and family plans for graduation ceremonies.
