Each September, units across campus partner to deliver Compliance Week—a coordinated series of messages about the policies and resources that keep our community safe, ethical and connected. Over the coming days, you’ll receive eMemos on key topics such as student privacy, voter registration, alcohol and other drugs, and the Annual Security Report.

Why it matters

At CU Boulder, successful Buffs thrive in an environment built on respect, integrity and accountability. Compliance safeguards the integrity of our research, supports a safe and inclusive campus where everyone can succeed, and sustains our shared values over the long term. By learning and following these policies, we demonstrate how Buffs collaborate to protect opportunity and well-being for all.

Campus resource: OCEP

The Office of Compliance, Ethics and Policy (OCEP) provides leadership across the university to strengthen accountability, manage risks proactively and support compliance through training, communication and reporting. 

Campus Policy Review Project

OCEP is leading a multi-year Campus Policy Review Project to ensure university policies remain clear, consistent and aligned with current operations and regulatory requirements. Through a structured review process running through 2028, the project will help strengthen governance, improve usability and establish a regular review cycle for policies across campus. Recent updates to policies in the divisions of Public Safety and Academic Affairs were shared in CU Boulder Today on Sept.14, and the campus will continue to receive periodic updates on policies as they are implemented.

Join the Compliance and Ethics Educational Series

OCEP will host the next session in its Compliance and Ethics Educational Series on Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to noon on Zoom, featuring Gabrielle Wright, senior executive advisor for the Division of Public Safety. This session will explore the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act and CU Boulder’s approach to emergency response and prevention.
