Plans are already underway to welcome our new class of students this fall. Fall Welcome occurs Aug. 18-Sept. 7. Faculty and staff play an essential role in helping make this time on campus smooth. Here’s what you need to know to prepare.
Move-in
Move-in officially begins Aug. 19 and goes through Aug. 22. Students participating in a designated pre-arrival program will move in on Sunday, Aug. 18.
Additionally, students have the option to bring personal belongings to their residence hall during designated Drop Off Days. Occurring Aug. 15 and 16, this will also help expedite the move-in process.
Parking
Faculty and staff should plan for parking closures and impacts from Monday, Aug. 19, through Thursday, Aug. 22. With increased traffic around Boulder during move-in, parking closures help create a more efficient move-in experience for new students and families by limiting the amount of vehicles driving to, on and around campus.
Closer to move-in, permit holders will receive an email notification of any parking lot impacts from Parking Services.
Fall Welcome
Students will participate in Fall Welcome events Aug. 19-Sept. 6. Students will learn more about campus resources and support services, while making valuable connections with fellow Buffs, faculty and staff.
Parent and family engagement opportunities will also take place during this time. These opportunities will help welcome them to our CU community and share resources and services to help with their student’s transition to CU Boulder.
Campus departments are invited to submit programs, events and opportunities to be included in the Fall Welcome schedule. Submit your Fall Welcome program by May 10, 2024. Any questions regarding Fall Welcome can be directed to New Student and Family Programs.
Volunteers needed
Volunteers are essential to the success of Fall Welcome and move-in. The volunteer support from our campus community ensures new students and families have a positive and welcoming experience.
There are a variety of volunteer shifts and roles to help support our new students and families. Stay tuned for more information and opportunities to volunteer later this summer.
