Recognized student organizations, recognized social Greek organizations and governing bodies are invited to apply for a table at the Be Involved Fair, a signature Fall Welcome event. Meet thousands of students who are looking for a way to be involved in the coming academic year. Apply by Aug. 10. The fair will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 27 from 2–6 p.m. on Farrand Field.

Registration for continuing undergraduates closes on Thursday, May 22. It then reopens on July 23 for schedule adjustments. Continuing undergraduate students will not be able to add or edit classes during the two-month blackout period, which is standard. Faculty and staff: Get more details. 

Are you a student? Get details for students.

All faculty on nine-month contracts, whether they have selected the academic year pay schedule or the 12-month pay schedule, are encouraged to use the contract calculator to calculate their monthly pay for the academic year and be prepared for pay fluctuations. For additional information and guidance for faculty, visit the Academic Affairs website.

Friday, May 30, is the deadline for fall master's graduates to update their diploma name or address in Buff Portal.

University of Colorado faculty on a contract have the option to choose to update their contract payment schedule for the 2025–26 academic year between May 1 and July 11.

During campus portal maintenance, which is next scheduled for Sunday, May 11, you can still access Canvas and some other campus services through direct links (e.g., canvas.colorado.edu).

Interested in gaining or acquiring cell culture experience using stem cells? Curious about 3D models like organoids, neural cultures, and want to know how to maintain these? Are you wondering how you can use genomic editing systems to modify your cells?

CU Boulder’s Stem Cell Research and Technology Resource Center is the perfect resource for all your cell culture needs. We invite you to explore the workshops we will be holding throughout the year and hope you join us!

Summer 2025 operating hours for the Boulder campus will be 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., effective Monday, May 12, through Friday, Aug. 15.

On Sunday, Aug. 17, the Boulder campus will return to its regular operating hours of 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

The standard operating hours are also core business hours for student-, employee- and customer-facing services/offices. Offices that are student-, employee- or customer-facing should attempt to maintain a consistent schedule allowing for in-person services to be provided particularly during periods or hours of high demand. 

CU Boulder undergraduates looking for funded, team-based research opportunities this summer and next academic year can browse UROP's funded "open opportunities" and apply to participate now.

Parking Services is beta testing a new visitor parking lot availability tool to help you find available spots in our most popular visitor lots. This mobile-friendly website provides real-time updates on lot availability, ensuring quick and convenient access to parking when you need it. Since this tool is brand new, we are hoping for some feedback on how it works from our campus community members. If you use this tool, please provide feedback via the Feedback Form.

Access the parking lot availability tool, then fill out the the feedback form.

Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate if electrical stimulation applied to the legs can reduce fatigue and improve walking in persons with multiple sclerosis.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• Are between18–65 years of age
• Have clinically confirmed diagnosis of MS
• Are able to walk but have some difficulty walking
• Experience some fatigue during activities of daily living
• The 11-week study involves four evaluation visits and 18 treatment sessions (three times/week for six weeks)

Evaluation sessions (approximately two hours each)

• Answering questionnaires
• Tests of walking, balance and muscle function
• Treatments (approximately 60 minutes each)
• TENS applied to leg muscles while performing weight-lifting exercises
• The treatment will be applied to two muscle groups in each leg
• Participants will be paid up to $880 for completing the 11-week trial.

If you are interested, please contact Mélanie Henry by email at melanie.henry@colorado.edu and reference the MS clinical trial.

The Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory (located on CU Boulder's Main Campus) is evaluating the influence of multiple sclerosis on the ability to control the force produced by lower-leg muscles. The study consists of one two-hour visit to assess motor function with self-reported and clinical assessments and lower-leg muscle activity during moderate contractions.

The inclusion criteria for healthy individuals include:

• Men and women 18–65 years old
• No visual impairment (corrected vision is okay)
• No current or recent (<2 months) lower-limb injury
• No major health problems

The inclusion criteria for people with multiple sclerosis include:

• Clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
• Able to walk with or without assistive device
• Men and women 18–65 years old
• No visual impairment (corrected vision is okay)
• No current or recent (<2 months) lower-limb injury
• No other major health problems than multiple sclerosis

For more information, please contact Mélanie Henry (melanie.henry@colorado.edu).

As a large, eco-conscious community at CU Boulder, we have a great opportunity to work together to protect our stormwater resources and contribute to the university’s sustainability goals. By adopting simple habits like cleaning up after pets, properly disposing of waste and being mindful of fertilizer use, each of us can make a positive impact. Read more on CU Boulder Today.
