Dear [first],

Our records indicate that either you haven't applied for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) benefit or if you’ve already applied for COF, you haven’t provided your COF unique ID or SSN to �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder.

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.

If you don't apply for COF and/or resolve your application error by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 24, 2026, you won't receive the COF tuition reduction for your eligible Spring 2026 class(es).

Please follow our instructions to apply for and authorize COF. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Your Spring Reminder: Register to Vote Linda Sprouse Mon, 04/20/2026 - 00:00 Administrative eMemo

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 2 p.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026, to all enrolled students (excluding international 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 �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder 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

�鶹��Ѱ��Boulder and Boulder County have websites to help guide you through the registration and voting process if you have questions.

You have the choice to register to vote with your hometown address or your current address while attending �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder.

Opt In to the Colorado Reverse Transfer Program (Targeted Message to Non-Enrolled Students) Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 04/14/2026 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, to previously enrolled students who were identified by the Colorado Department of Higher Education as being potentially eligible for this program.
We also sent a reminder at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 13, 2026, to the same students, excluding those who had since opted into this program.

Dear [first],

According to our records, you may be eligible to receive an associate degree from the community college you previously attended by opting in to Colorado's reverse transfer program.

This program allows students who've transferred from a Colorado community college to a Colorado university to combine and apply credits from both institutions toward an associate degree from the community college.

This means the associate degree you started at the community college may be awarded to you at no additional cost, immediately boosting your earning potential and career opportunities.

How to Participate

Go to the Colorado reverse transfer webpage to learn more.
Opt in to the program. By opting in, you're consenting to have your �鶹��Ѱ��academic records securely shared with your community college.
If you've taken courses at any other college or university, be sure to have official transcripts sent to your community college so they can evaluate that work as well.

What Happens Next

After you opt in, your former community college will review your degree eligibility, typically in April.

If you're eligible for a degree, it will be awarded to you automatically. The community college will contact you via the email you provided on the opt-in site.
If you still need a few more credits, you will be contacted.

We hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity, and we also hope this recognition of your hard work will encourage you to return to �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder to complete your bachelor's degree.

If you have any questions, please contact Peter Fritz, Director of Student Transitions and Credential Completion Initiatives at the Colorado Department of Higher Education, at peter.fritz@dhe.state.colo.us.

Last Day for Spring Class Withdrawal & Change Pass/Fail Status, 3/24 Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/16/2026 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Tuesday, March 24 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students (law students excluded) to complete the following actions for a full-semester Main Campus class:*

Class withdrawal: If you drop a Main Campus class after Jan. 23 but remain enrolled in the semester, you'll be required to pay 100 percent of tuition and fees (no refund), and a W notation 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. 23.

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 �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder'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.

Tuesday, March 24 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students to class withdrawal or change pass/fail status for a full-semester Main Campus class.

If you'll need COF hours beyond Fall 2026, 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 27, 2026.

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.
