For Students, With Students

The Unified Student Experience (USE) project is a campus-wide project that is working to unify the online and in-person CU Boulder student experience. A major outcome of the USE project has been the creation of Buff Portal, an intuitive and inviting online portal for CU Boulder students.

Buff Portal for Students About Buff Portal

Student-Centered Approach & Impact

The USE project and Buff Portal team’s user-focused design and development efforts are ongoing to ensure that Buff Portal and partner offices continue to evolve to fulfill the needs of our students. Sustained and rigorous user experience (UX) research with CU Boulder students positions student needs at the core of our work. Our team regularly meets one-on-one with students to test out new designs or in group design sessions to brainstorm a new and improved experience.
