Repayment on federal student loans is scheduled to begin in October 2023, following an extended repayment pause during the pandemic. Interest on federal student loans will start to accrue on Sept. 1, 2023.
Loan servicers that manage repayment of federal student loans will notify borrowers before payments are due.
Here’s what borrowers can do now so they’re ready for repayment:
You can also check out these Preparing to Pay FAQs, which are also available in Spanish.
If you encounter issues while working with your loan servicer, you can file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General’s student loan ombudsperson.
As federal student loans return to repayment, there may be an increase in debt relief scams. For tips, see how to avoid scams.
If you had issues making loan payments in the past, you may be able to take advantage of the Fresh Start Initiative, which is a new one-time temporary program to get out of default on your federal student loan.
CUPD is launching a new way to foster community engagement and gain feedback from those who call for help.
Starting this fall semester, community members who speak with a 911 dispatcher and receive service from a police officer, residential service officer or community safety official can expect to receive a text with a short survey asking about their experience.
The police department will use the feedback to improve communication, response and community engagement and will provide feedback to officers themselves.
Four short survey questions ask about the call-taking process and the service delivery. Survey respondents can provide numerical responses via a text message and can add a short text narrative.
The satisfaction survey will be launched for lower-level crimes including non-violent crime, property crime, traffic accidents or other service-related calls.
CUPD Deputy Chief Mark Heyart said the new text-based survey tool will greatly improve the feedback loop. “In the past, surveys were sent by mail. This method will allow us to more quickly gauge community satisfaction, respond to needs and also provide engagement information to our officers and staff,” Heyart said.
“Officers, RSOs and CSOs who respond on-scene will let community members know to expect a survey via text, and explain that feedback is important and appreciated,” Heyart added.
Since the Hellems Building is currently closed for renovation, the departments of English, History and Philosophy have had to relocate. Meanwhile, you can find these departments in the Muenzinger Psychology Building, Rooms D110-120, located at 1905 Colorado Ave.

Wildfires can happen at any time of year in Colorado, which makes fireworks particularly dangerous in the Boulder area. Setting off fireworks also negatively impacts the health and wellness of your neighbors and our community. It's important to find other ways to celebrate being back in Boulder.
The city of Boulder’s firework laws are more restrictive than other areas of Colorado. Laws prohibit items like sparklers, snaps, snakes, bottle rockets, Roman candles and smoke bombs, in addition to fireworks that leave the ground or explode. You may also be held responsible for fireworks used by roommates and guests.
Possible legal penalties include:
You will also be referred to Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution at CU Boulder.
Unused fireworks can be brought to the city of Boulder Public Safety Building at 1805 33rd St. without penalty. Connect with Student Legal Services or visit Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations to learn more about common citations and Boulder ordinances.
