Changes to building access during finals, commencement: Carry your Buff OneCard

Eaton Humanities building on the CU Boulder campus.

With finals week, commencement, and summer approaching, the CU Boulder campus is preparing to follow different building access protocols. Remember to carry your Buff OneCard, Buffs!

Reading Day, finals, commencement week: May 3–11

Most academic buildings will be locked. Students, faculty and staff will be able to access these buildings from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with their Buff OneCard.
Outside these hours, you will need to have previously been granted Buff OneCard after-hours access permissions.
Buildings hosting recognition ceremonies will be open on those days to accommodate attendance.
Students, faculty and staff who normally have weekend and after-hours access to specific buildings will still have access to those buildings on the weekend of May 11–12.

Summer Session: Starting May 13

Building protocol will be largely similar to fall and spring semesters:

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 non-affiliates access to scheduled events and other activities.
CU students, faculty and staff will have extended access (from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.) to most academic buildings via Buff OneCard swipe.
On university holidays and administrative leave days during Summer Session (May 27, June 19 and July 4), building access will be available only for affiliates with Buff OneCards who have been provisioned for 24/7 access to their respective facilities.
Students, faculty and staff who normally have weekend and after-hours access to specific buildings will still have access to those buildings.
