Announcements & Deadlines
- It’s time to apply for financial aid for the 2017-18 academic year. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is open now for next year and instead of requiring tax information for 2016, it asks for 2015 tax information. That means you have no reason to wait to apply.
- The Colorado Combined Campaign is designed to provide you ease of giving through online pledging and monthly payroll deduction. Your money stays in Colorado, serving your communities. With more than 600 participating agencies, you are sure to find a program that touches your heart.
- CU Boulder’s electronic signature application DocuSign will soon have a different login experience. Starting Jan. 6, users can access the application with their IdentiKey information, no longer requiring a DocuSign-specific password.
- Weather permitting, Facilities Management Outdoor Services staff will conduct a broadcast spray application of a dormant oil insecticide to nine oak trees on main campus over the winter break. These trees are infested with Allokermes scale.
- Diverse Learners Awareness Week, coming Feb. 20 through 24, can help you build the sensitivity and skills to become an effective advocate for diversity in learning. Nominate yourself now as an organizer, presenter, participant and more.
- This time of year can be tough, with many calls for end-of-year giving that can seem like a stretch when your holiday budget is already tight. While we may not be able to make a gift right now, many of us do wish to support the agencies that make Colorado a better place for all. Consider making a giving plan for 2017 by participating in the annual Colorado Combined Campaign, an easy way to make payroll deduction gifts to more than 700 agencies right here in Colorado.
- The Student Employment Office is accepting nominations for Student Employee of the Year. Work-study, hourly and salaried student employees are eligible. First place will receive Buff Gear donated by the CU Bookstore and will be nominated for the Western Association of Student Employment Administrators Award.
- If you’re teaching a course in the spring and are planning to use D2L, now is great time to request your course. Requesting your course early will allow you to maximize the available time to develop your course. To request a course, instructors should log in to MyCUInfo and choose the Course Tools tab in Teaching Tools to "Request Desire2Learn Course."
- The Office of Information Technology is looking for distance students to participate in a pilot involving the use of a Kubi, a robotic neck that holds an iPad and allows a remote student to actively participate in a face-to-face class.
- The reopening of Euclid AutoPark, originally scheduled for Jan. 17, 2017, will be delayed into March. Parking for campus guests is still available in the lot across the street from Euclid Avenue.
