Having friends over for Halloween? Register your party to lessen your chances of receiving an expensive ticket. By registering your party with Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations, the registrant will get a 20-minute warning before police officers arrive if your residence receives a noise complaint.

Students must take an in-person orientation before using the party registration program. Visit UMC 313 or email och@colorado.edu to learn more.

Showcase your art in the heart of campus! The Student Arts Program collects original art created by the CU Boulder student community and displays it throughout the UMC.

The program accepts photography/film/technology, painting, drawing, sculpture or textile. Visit our website for a detailed list of acceptable media.

Awards will be given for top submissions. Artwork is reviewed by a panel of judges that decides which artwork is accepted into the program and where that artwork will be displayed. The UMC covers the cost of framing, hanging and securing the artwork.

Deadline: Jan. 21, 2024

Have you noticed daily notifications about your email quarantine? CU Boulder switched to a new email routing system over the summer which gives you more control over what gets to your inbox. Visit the OIT website to watch an overview video of the new system and to find more tips for keeping spam out of your inbox!

During maintenance that affects the portals, such as the maintenance scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 22, remember you can directly access Canvas and some other services that are provided through the portals.

⁠Ralphie’s List is your only university-affiliated resource for housing listings that are curated for students. The Ralphie’s List database lists rentals in the area, has a searchable roommate database and allows students to list sublets for free.

The ⁠CU Student Government fall 2023 elections will be kicking off on Monday, Nov. 5. If you would like to run for a representative at large position, start by getting 50 signatures on a petition packet. Email the CUSG parliamentarian at ⁠cusg.parliamentarian@colorado.edu to receive your packet.

A petition packet is a Google Form you use to collect the 50 signatures you need to be listed on the ballot. Once completed, this document allows you to run for rep at large. When you get someone to “sign” your petition packet, they should include their student ID number, CU email and name. CUSG uses this information to determine that signatories are fee-paying students, as only fee-paying students can sign petition packets and vote in CUSG elections.

Completed petition packets, with all 50 signatures, are due on Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. at the mandatory candidates’ meeting, which will be held in UMC 425.
