The deadline to order rental regalia for the spring commencement ceremony has been extended to Friday, April 5. Graduate students, faculty and volunteers for the ceremony need to rent regalia. Undergraduate students can purchase their caps and gowns at the CU Book Store.

Over the past few days, the CU Boulder Police Department arrested two bike thieves from different cases. On March 22, a resident in the Smiley Court apartments noticed some suspicious activity at one of the bike racks. Officers responded and arrested Jeremy Alan Leverette on charges of theft and possession of burglary tools.

On March 25, dispatchers noticed that one of the CUPD bait bicycles was moving. Bait bikes look like regular bicycles, but contain a GPS chip that can be tracked by law enforcement. Officers quickly responded and arrested David Roland Wilcox. He was booked on nine charges including theft, possession of burglary tools, drug possession, as well as three outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court for previous offenses.

Both of these bikes used a cable lock to connect them to the bike racks. We recommend using a u-lock style of bike lock. In fact, we think that u-locks are so important that we have partnered with the Environmental Center for a bike lock exchange program. If your bike is registered on campus, you can go to one of the campus bike stations and exchange your used cable lock for a new u-lock. You can find this and other bike theft prevention tips here.
