To improve the student experience and streamline university operations, the Bursar's Office recently led a campuswide effort to update when confirmation deposits are released to student accounts. Beginning this semester, confirmation deposits, which are paid at the time a student confirms their enrollment at CU Boulder, will be applied to student tuition bills during their first semester of enrollment.
Previously, the $200 confirmation deposit was held until graduation and then refunded or applied to any outstanding balance. Under the new process, the deposit will be released earlier, directly reducing tuition in the student’s first semester.
“This change helps reduce some of the financial burden students face in their first semester and improves the overall student refund experience,” said Somchanok Sitchawat, the bursar. “It also decreases administrative overhead and eliminates the need to track down updated addresses or banking information years later.”
The university cited several reasons for the change, including challenges with refunding deposits to students who have separated from CU Boulder, especially international students who face difficulties cashing checks abroad.
By applying the deposit earlier, CU Boulder aims to streamline the refund process for students and reduce administrative costs.
Visit the Bursar's Office for more information about the new confirmation deposit release process.

From Theory to Action: Cultivating Inclusivity and Belonging supports students as they prepare for life after CU Boulder by emphasizing competencies increasingly valued by employers, including conflict resolution, global awareness and social responsibility. The program also encourages students to reflect on identity, power and privilege while learning how inclusive practices can strengthen teams, organizations and communities.
Students will complete eight modules housed in Canvas. Each module includes short readings, pre-recorded presentations and quizzes. Learning opportunities are offered in both asynchronous and one-on-one check-ins with an advisor. The program culminates in a final project, in which students choose between a written paper or presentation analyzing their personal experiences with power and privilege and how those experiences intersect with broader social structures.
Open to all undergraduates through open enrollment, eligibility requires completion of either:
Students interested in participating are encouraged to complete the interest form. Additional details about enrollment and timelines will be shared with interested students prior to the summer 2026 launch. Email AS_aceoffice@colorado.edu with questions.

Doctoral students in the ATLAS Institute have developed a tangible AI product for informal learning. They are seeking feedback to improve the system and make it as fun and enjoyable experience as possible. To join the user study, book a time slot via Calendly.
Participants will try a couple different versions of tangible AI, fill in a survey and give any other feedback verbally. Testing the system and getting your feedback should take about one hour, maybe a bit longer depending on how long you want to speak for.
You can try it as an individual, or bring a friend and try it together. There is no compensation for taking part in the study.
