The Buff Bulletin Board, a listing of campus announcements, is a service of Campus Communications.
The federal government is introducing enhanced research security training requirements for key personnel associated with federal grants. Enhanced requirements for NSF and USDA submissions go into effect starting on Oct. 1, 2025. Enhanced requirements for DOE submissions went into effect on May 1.
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.
You will participate in an entirely voluntary and confidential 30- to 45-minute audio recorded interview.
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.
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.
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.
The HOP still runs every 15 minutes during peak hours. The HOP buses connect CU Boulder, University Hill, downtown and 29th Street Mall.
If you're 18 or older and a first-year undergraduate student at CU Boulder from an underrepresented race or ethnicity on our campus, or someone who identifies with an LGBTQQ2SIA+ identity, we invite you to participate in a study on the intersections of belonging, identity and sexual harm on campus.
This is a paid research study, and participation involves completion of four assessments across the course of your first semester. Learn more and see if you're eligible.

Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate the influence of light electrical stimulation (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) on walking performance in older adults.
The study involves two evaluation visits to CU Boulder Main Campus. The two sessions (each approximately 1.5 hours each) will be separated by three to seven days. Walking will be tested while transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is applied over leg muscles and controlled by a foot switch.
Participants will earn $60 for completing the two sessions. If interested, please contact Rehab Aljaafari to learn more about the study: phone 720-687-7148 or email real5810@colorado.edu.
In response to escalated cybersecurity threats, CU Boulder is taking steps to strengthen multi-factor authentication (MFA) protection starting Sept. 15.

Apple's private Wi-Fi address feature, introduced in macOS Sequoia and updated for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, could cause connectivity issues for CU Boulder Wi-Fi networks if not set to "off." If you're having trouble with this, learn more through the Office of Information Technology.
Are you a CU Boulder undergraduate involved in research and/or creative work? If so, UROP invites you to participate in this year's Sidewalk Symposium by creating and sharing chalk art about your work. We welcome students working at any stage of their project timeline, so you don't need results to participate. UROP funding is also not required.
Sign up by Oct. 3 to participate in this unique opportunity!
