We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 21, 2025, to all enrolled students.

Dear [first],

What You Need to Know

In-state students: All active, registered Colorado voters automatically receive a ballot in the mail a few weeks before Election Day. If you plan to vote in Boulder or in your home county, make sure you're registered to vote and that your ballot mailing address is up to date. Colorado voters may update their registration anytime.
Out-of-state students: You may choose to either request an absentee ballot from your home state or register to vote in Boulder County. You cannot register and/or vote in both locations. Many states have a registration and/or absentee ballot request deadline, so act now to receive your ballot.

Note: If you register to vote in Colorado, you may be considered a Colorado resident for motor vehicle registration, income tax, and jury duty purposes. Registering to vote does not automatically make you a resident for tuition purposes. Your ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� tuition classification won't change unless you take all of the necessary actions to establish residency and successfully petition for a change in residency.
Students living on campus: Whether voting in Colorado or in your home state via absentee ballot, you must use your mailbox number, not your dorm room number for your ballot to find you. Visit Boulder County's Student Voting Guidelines page for instructions.

In-Person Registration & Voting

See the Boulder County elections page for more details about registration and upcoming elections.

You have the choice to register to vote with your hometown address or your current address while attending ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��.

COF Error: Resolve Your SSN Mismatch (Targeted Message) Linda Sprouse Tue, 03/18/2025 - 01:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025
5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 18, 2025

Dear [first],

Your College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend can't be applied to your bill because the Social Security number (SSN) in your ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� record doesn't match the one in your COF application.

COF was created by the Colorado Legislature to pay a portion of total in-state tuition for eligible undergrads. There's no limit to the number of students who receive it, and you never have to pay it back.

To Correct Your Record

To resolve this error, follow our step-by-step instructions to update your record by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

Do not email anything containing your SSN. Doing so could put you at high risk for identity theft.

Once you receive an email confirming that your record was updated, follow our online instructions to authorize COF by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Last Day to Drop a Spring Class & Change Pass/Fail Status, 3/21

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Last Day to Drop a Spring Class & Change Pass/Fail Status, 3/21 Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/17/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Friday, March 21 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students (law students excluded) to complete the following actions for a full-semester Main Campus class:*

Drop a class: If you drop a Main Campus class after Feb. 1 but remain enrolled in the semester, you'll be required to pay 100 percent of tuition and fees (no refund), and a W grade will post to your transcript.
Change a class's grade mode from letter grade to pass/fail (or vice versa): Only student-option courses** are eligible. The last day to change a class to or from no credit (audit) was Jan. 29.

If you've satisfactorily completed a substantial amount of work for a class but are unable to complete it due to reasons beyond your control, you may request an incomplete (I) grade. This will give you additional time to complete your coursework before your instructor is required to assign your final grade. For more information, see ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��'s incomplete grade policy.

*If you're taking a special session Main Campus class, check the special session calendar for that session's deadlines.

**If a department designates a course as student option, it's your choice whether to take it for a letter grade or as pass/fail.

Friday, March 21 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students drop a class or change pass/fail status for a full-semester Main Campus class.

We've Extended Your COF Lifetime Hour Limit (Targeted Message) Linda Sprouse Wed, 03/12/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, to students whose COF lifetime hour limit was extended on their behalf.

Dear [first],

We noticed that you've exhausted your allotted 145 lifetime hours of COF funding toward your degree. On your behalf, we've granted you an institutional waiver that allows your COF funding to continue through Fall 2025.

You don't need to take any additional action at this time. This semester's COF hours will be applied to your bill within 48 to 72 hours.

To Apply for Additional COF Hours

If you'll need COF hours beyond Fall 2025, you may submit a Colorado Commission on Higher Education waiver request.

To Postpone This Extension

To postpone this COF lifetime limit extension until your next semester of enrollment, email the COF support team by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 21, 2025.

Please be aware that if you postpone the extension, you'll be responsible for paying the portion of this semester's tuition typically covered by COF funds.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
