Building access during finals and winter break

With finals week and winter break approaching, the CU Boulder campus will follow different building access protocols.

Finals week Dec. 16–20

  • CU Boulder affiliates can access most academic buildings on campus from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., you will be able to access these buildings with your Buff OneCard.
  • For buildings that house a 7:30 p.m. exam, doors will remain open until 8 p.m. before the Buff OneCard protocol kicks in.
  • Outside these hours, you will need to have previously been granted Buff OneCard after-hours access permissions.

Winter break Dec. 22–Jan. 15

  • Most buildings will be available via Buff OneCard swipe between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
  • On university holidays and administrative leave days during the break (Dec. 25–29, Jan. 1 and Jan. 15), building access will only be available for affiliates with Buff OneCards who have been provisioned for 24/7 access to their respective facilities.

University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and Health and Wellness Services publish their respective hours on their websites.
