Beginning the week of Sept. 22 and running through mid-November, the city of Boulder will be making improvements to the medians on Broadway between College Avenue and Marine Street. These improvements will include installing new irrigation piping, planting new vegetation and repairing some concrete components of the medians.

During this period, there may be one-lane closures on Broadway to accommodate the crews and their equipment. Closures will be limited to Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m. The city will do everything possible to have both northbound lanes open for the morning commute and both southbound lanes open for the evening commute.

Do you have trouble falling asleep before 1 a.m.? Do you find it difficult to wake up early in the morning for your commitments? Does your high schooler have a hard time falling asleep before 1 a.m. and waking up early in the morning/for high school?

This year’s Culture Crawl T-shirt was designed by CU Boulder College of Music alum Andrea Kloehn. Pick up your tee on Oct. 8 at any of the 20 events, while supplies last.

This week, Apple released its newest operating system, macOS Tahoe (version 26). Because of several incompatibilities with a number of widely used applications at CU Boulder, OIT recommends waiting to upgrade Apple devices until key issues are addressed.

As part of the revised academic calendar, Thursday, Oct. 9, is designated as a fall mid-semester reading day—a time for students to reflect, review and prepare for the remainder of the semester. No classes or exams should be held. Athletic events and academically scheduled student events (e.g., concerts, performances) may proceed as scheduled.

Colorado Law, however, follows a different academic calendar. All Colorado Law classes (LAWS 5000 level and above) will be held as usual on Oct. 9.

Friday, Oct. 10, is a regular class day. Faculty are encouraged not to cancel classes or reschedule exams or assignments in anticipation of potentially low attendance ahead of the home football game on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Students are encouraged to honor the intent of the reading day by using the time well and making responsible choices as the weekend begins.

We are seeking current CU Boulder undergraduate students enrolled in the Leeds School of Business who are 18 years and older and proficient in speaking English. Participants cannot be international students.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate student experiences with and perceptions of generative AI tools in research and information-seeking (IRB protocol #25-0419)

Participants will receive a $25 Amazon gift card. To participate, please fill out the form, and one of the investigators will contact you. 

We’re streamlining Buff Bus service for greater efficiency! The Will Vill, Will Vill Limited and Bear Creek loops have been consolidated into a single clockwise route named “Route W: Williams Village.” 

This new route design features mostly right-hand turns to help improve travel time and reliability. It serves both the Darley and Bear Creek stops in Williams Village. Our other Buff Bus routes, including the Stampede and East Campus Express, will continue operating as usual during this phase. See the new routes and schedules for fall 2025.

Zoom has launched new features to improve teaching and learning, including upgraded Canvas integration for auto-publishing recordings and summaries, lecture capture in Self-Service spaces, and the Easy Scheduler for streamlined office hours. Additional useful features such as the AI Companion, smart recordings, voice transcription and enhanced scheduling options help make meetings more accessible, efficient and engaging.

Our campus building access emphasizes safety and building security while providing convenient access for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Most academic buildings with scheduled classes will be open and unlocked between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to allow nonaffiliates access to scheduled events and other activities. 

• Doors unlocked between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. are electronic doors only. Manual-action doors will remain locked at all times and be available for exit only. 
• CU students, faculty and staff will continue to have extended access (from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.) to these same academic buildings via Buff OneCard swipe. 
• A few buildings may maintain slightly different hours based on class schedules and staffing.

Prior access preferences established on Buff OneCards for students, faculty and staff remain in place. Students, faculty and staff who normally have weekend and after-hours access to specific buildings will still have access to those buildings. 

CU affiliates needing special access to a specific building are asked to contact their building proctors, C-CURE operators or department chairs to request the authorization/access needed on their Buff OneCards. 

University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and Health and Wellness Services publish their respective hours on their websites.

Tips for accessing a building with your Buff OneCard

• Always have your Buff OneCard.
• Depending on the type of card reader, make sure you are either:
  • Swiping with the stripe on the back of your card facing to the right
  • Or tapping the card on the proximity reader with your photo facing toward you

Review the full building access page, including details on getting help entering a building and other questions.

CU Boulder students, faculty and staff will benefit from expanded HOP service as the Boulder Junction Depot Square Station reopens in early September. The updated route strengthens local transit connections and supports sustainable travel options.
