Books and Supplies
The CU Book Store is proudly owned and operated by CU-Boulder. Conveniently located on campus in the University Memorial Center, the CU Book Store offers used, rental, digital and new textbooks, year round textbook sellback, CU clothing and gifts, school supplies, computer hardware and software at educational prices, grab and go snacks and convenience items, and magazines and general books.
Career Services
Career Services is a great place to get help with planning your career, finding an internship, and getting a job or going to graduate school. The Career Services fee you pay with your tuition covers almost everything—access to online internship and postgraduate job opportunities, admission to career and internship fairs, on-campus interviewing, employer and job-search skills presentations, professional career counseling, résumé critiques, and résumé referrals. Some tests and workbooks involve minimal additional costs.
Center for Multicultural Affairs
The Center for Multicultural Affairs (CMA) is a resource, referral, and counseling center that works to increase the retention/persistence of all students, with a particular focus on diverse students. A few of the programs offered by CMA are the Diversity Education Team, People of Color Film Series, Parents As Partners, peer counseling, Collegiate Leadership Development Program, and the White Antelope Memorial Scholarship.
Classroom Behavior Policy
Students have a right to learn and a responsibility to participate in the learning process.
Students and course instructors share a responsibility for maintaining an appropriate and orderly learning environment, and course instructors have a right to articulate clear expectations in this regard.
Closing Campus
Hazardous storms and other emergencies occasionally force the campus to close. Closures for emergencies that occur at night normally are announced by 6:00 a.m. Daytime closures or evacuations are announced as decisions are made. Information on the nature of the emergency and any necessary instructions will be posted on the CU-Boulder website and sent via campus text alerts.
Conference on World Affairs
The Conference on World Affairs, held each year during the second week of April, is the largest event in Boulder, attracting 92,000 students and visitors to over 200 sessions, all of which are free and open to the public. Roger Ebert, a participant for four decades, calls it the “conference on everything conceivable,” as topics are hardly limited to international affairs. No matter what your interests are, you’re sure to find something alluring in this year’s schedule.
