Does your student know what questions to ask their landlord before moving in to a rental? Do they know how many hours it takes to remove snow from the sidewalks after a blizzard? Students can find the answers to these questions and much more by completing The Off-Campus Living Orientation!
The Off-Campus Living Orientation is a course created to help students prepare for life off-campus, avoid tickets and citations and get involved in the Boulder community. By taking the course, your student will:
- Learn what it means to be a good tenant, roommate, neighbor and community member.
- Go over tips for understanding a lease and communicating with a landlord.
- Discover what legal resources are available as a student.
- Become aware of their rights and responsibilities as a member of the Boulder community.
- Review City of Boulder ordinances and rules to avoid citations.
- Find ways to get involved in the community.
The Off-Campus Living Orientation is already available through Canvas, CU Boulder’s learning management system. Your student can easily log in with their Identikey and password; they will be able to complete the course at their own pace and on theiy own timeframe. We encourage students to review this valuable information about off-campus living prior to their arrival or return to Boulder.
Students renting from Four Star on the Hill may have additional requirements to complete this course prior to moving into their rental and may be unable to move-in until the requirement is fulfilled.
The office of Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations is here to support you and your student. Learn more about living in Boulder by visiting their website.
