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

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on the following date to students who needed to correct a Social Security number (SSN) mismatch in order to receive COF funds for Spring 2025:

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.

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.

Annual Reminder: Notification of Your Student Privacy Rights Under FERPA Linda Sprouse Tue, 02/04/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, to all enrolled Main Campus, Continuing Education and specialized programs students who didn't already receive our annual FERPA reminder on Sept. 17, 2024.

Dear [first],

As a ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� student, it's important to understand your rights regarding access to and disclosure of information in your education record. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords you the right to:

Inspect and review your education record
Request amendment of your education record
Consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information in your education record
File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education (Student Privacy Policy Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202)

To review or request an amendment to your record, contact the university office that maintains the record. This does not apply to grade changes, which are at faculty discretion.

Release of Information

Under FERPA, the university may release your education record information if the disclosure is:

To ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� officials who have a legitimate educational interest
To officials of another institution at which you seek or intend to enroll
To authorized representatives of federal, state or local educational authorities
In connection with financial aid you've applied for or received
To an organization conducting studies for or on behalf of the university
To your parents or guardians (if you are a dependent student for tax purposes)
To an accrediting organization
To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena
In connection with a health or safety emergency or other exception under FERPA
To fulfill a request for data that ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� defines as directory information

Directory information is student data contained in education records that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Student data that is not directory information may only be released with your documented consent, including in letters of recommendation.

To authorize third-party access to your non-directory information, see CU guest access and FERPA consent to release.

You may restrict the release of directory information by placing full privacy on your record. Please note that students on full privacy are treated the same as other students in instructional settings, including within physical and virtual classrooms. Their name, image and email address may appear on screen and in the learning management system, and instructors may call on them by name.

Remote & Online Classes

Recordings of lectures or class meetings are considered education records if students' names or likenesses are displayed or disclosed. Instructors may share these recordings with the class, but not with others without documented consent from each student identified in the recording.

Artificial Intelligence

AI development, its uses and tools are rapidly evolving. AI users at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� should stay current with campus policies and guidance regarding student data privacy, compliance, security and other AI considerations and implications. See Artificial Intelligence at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��.

Questions may be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

Sincerely,

Kristi Wold-McCormick, Ph.D.
