Officers, fiscal principals, and principal investigators: We need your help to complete an important public certification requirement.
The Campus Controller's Office certifies the accuracy of the university’s financial statements (and the effectiveness of its internal controls) to the State Controller on an annual basis. Your assessment is integral to our certification.
Your assessment will cover the last fiscal year, which spans from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Please complete your fiscal assessment before the due date assigned. Delays in completing an assessment will negatively impact other certifying officers and our university’s ability to meet this important requirement.
Want to learn more about this process or have questions about next steps? Visit the campus controller's office online for additional background, as well as access to training on completing the assessment, acting as a delegate and other topics.
For all other questions, please email fiscalcompliance@colorado.edu.
After noon on Friday, June 30, and through the morning of Wednesday, July 5, call the Operations Control Center at 303-492-5522 to report any facility-related issue. You won’t have the ability to submit a service request online.
Facilities Management is launching its new AssetWorks integrated work management system (IWMS). This new system will replace the current work management system (FAMIS), which has been serving the campus since 2003.
The new system has three complementary components, AiM (which is the back end management system), ReADY Request (which is the customer-facing self service portal) and Go Mobile (which is the mobile platform that technicians can use from anywhere).
This change may impact building proctors, managers and campus customers who interact with Facilities Management and submit work, key and project requests.
The Supporting Student Resiliency Professional Development Series provides CU faculty and staff with concrete skills to better support students.

The Shine Lab is recruiting participants for a research study who:
These studies take place at the Center for Innovation and Creativity (1777 Exposition Drive) in Room 171E. In this type of study, we look at your physiological reaction and at your brain waves as you work in a team on a task that involves searching for objects of interest in satellite images. The purpose of the research is to better understand the experiences people have while working in teams on collaborative tasks.
We will use non-invasive sensors (functional-near infrared spectroscopy) to measure your brain and physiological activity while you work with the visual search task.
These devices are safe and comfortable for experiment participants to wear.
The studies last two hours each and the pay is $15 per hour, plus a significant merit-based cash bonus. You cannot earn course credit through this study.
If you are interested, please email shinelabstudy@gmail.com to schedule a slot.
During maintenance that affects the portals, such as the maintenance scheduled for Sunday, June 25, remember you can directly access Canvas and some other services that are provided through the portals.
Efforts are underway to create a unified scheduling tool for reserving space on campus to streamline cross-campus collaboration and address the scheduling needs of all students, faculty and staff (both academic and administrative).
Currently, space reservations are made through more than a dozen separately managed scheduling tools. This tool also will provide more accurate data for campus to make better space development decisions.
If you currently use a scheduling tool for reserving space on campus, staff from the Office of the Provost and Student Affairs want to hear your feedback and current challenges. Please contact emina.begovic@colorado.edu by July 14. There will be another opportunity in the fall to offer feedback, as well.

CU Boulder has a great number of experts conducting research focused on fires at the wildland urban interface (WUI). This research encompasses many aspects of WUI fires, including forecasting across scales, disaster resilience, air and water contamination, and community support.
With the goal of increasing CU Boulder's impact and bringing our research community together, CIRES is planning a workshop focused on wildfire in the WUI research on Sept. 8. If you are interested in participating or are working on fire research, please fill this form by July 10. Organizers then will look at submissions and organize the workshop.
