During maintenance that affects the portals, such as the maintenance scheduled for Saturday, May 13, remember that you can directly access Canvas and some other services that are provided through the portals.

Beginning this summer, CU Boulder Facilities Management teams, with the support of the ADA compliance office, will be upgrading building access. 

In addition to the $3.4 million classroom security project that addresses security upgrades for 300 rooms across campus, campus is also prioritizing upgrades to exterior doors to make them operable with Buff OneCard readers so there are fewer exit-only doors.

Many campus buildings typically have only one exterior door accessible via card reader. Eighteen buildings will have additional doors added to the campuswide system that allows them to be controlled electronically and on a schedule such that they will be accessible to those with Buff OneCards.

If you notice access issues, including broken doors/locks and ADA issues, contact your building proctor, who will connect with Access Services and/or the ADA compliance office.

Instructional faculty and staff interested in integrating the Buffs One Read title, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World, into their curriculum for first-year students can access a research guide and an open Canvas course.
