Announcements

This Friday, Oct. 30, is the last day for students to do the following for the Fall 2020 semester: drop a class, submit or cancel a grade replacement request, and change a class's grade mode from letter grade to pass/fail or vice versa.

Starting today, academic program pages in the 2021–22 catalog will open for edits, with a target department/unit review deadline of Dec. 18. (All other catalog pages will open for edits in December.)

Today, we are announcing that the spring 2021 semester will start on Jan. 14 and the campus will continue to offer in-person and remote courses. We're also sharing key updates to address a number of lessons learned this fall.

While I am convinced that replicating spring 2020's expansion of pass/fail options is not the best choice for this fall semester, I do urge all of our instructors to show compassion for the stress our students are feeling as a result of this year's less than optimal teaching and learning conditions.

Please join us for a virtual Office of the Registrar town hall on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Watch for an agenda and Zoom link in next week's newsletter. We hope to see you there!

You're still on a class waitlist for 8-Wk Session 2, which begins this Thursday, Oct. 15. If you don't see it on your class schedule card, make sure the waitlist toggle is turned on.

Has your car insurance, student loan, scholarship, medical or other provider requested verification of your CU Boulder enrollment? If so, your free Fall 2020 enrollment verification is now available.

With sincere gratitude for the outstanding work of our student body, we will transition from our temporary remote teaching mode and resume in-person/hybrid teaching on Wednesday, Oct. 14. We expect most classes to fully return to their original fall 2020 instructional modes by this date, with exceptions based on specific public health requirements and individual faculty requests, subject to department chair and dean approvals.

Please submit any workflow updates by Monday, Oct. 12, so we can get them in place before edit access opens.

In recognition of how COVID-19 is impacting our students, we are extending the deadline to receive a 60% rebate to Sept. 29.
