It’s a new semester, which brings with it new opportunities to tap into ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder’s IT offerings. If you’re lucky, maybe you received some new technology over the holidays. For you, we have tips to connect and protect those new devices. But even if you didn’t get a new laptop, iPhone or Xbox, this semester will bring new learning challenges and new reasons to put these IT resources to work for you.

Following a number of use violations, the University Libraries have recently made a change to off-campus access for the American Chemical Society (ACS) publications, which will no longer be accessible using the campus VPN.

As part of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä's commitment to an accessible campus environment, OIT now offers SensusAccess, an online service that allows anyone with a @colorado.edu email address to upload content and have it automatically converted to an accessible document type.

​Students now have a brand new place to gather at Williams Village. The Village Center Dining and Community Commons opened Jan. 11 and features state-of-the-art services from dining to residential programs, as well as healthcare and counseling.

Looking for housing or off-campus resources for next year? ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä’s annual January Housing Fair is a free event that offers students a convenient way to view hundreds of local properties. Many local landlords, property managers, vendors and real estate agents will be in the UMC for the fair.

Spring semester is upon us, and there are some major changes to the ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉäClicker service, including an unexpected i>clicker software update, new instructor clickers for faculty members and training classes scheduled for Jan. 13 and Jan. 17.

¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä employees are eligible to meet for free with financial professionals from the university's retirement-plan service provider. Sessions are scheduled starting Wednesday, Jan. 18.

It’s time to apply for financial aid for the 2017-18 academic year. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is open now for next year and instead of requiring tax information for 2016, it asks for 2015 tax information. That means you have no reason to wait to apply.

The Colorado Combined Campaign is designed to provide you ease of giving through online pledging and monthly payroll deduction. Your money stays in Colorado, serving your communities. With more than 600 participating agencies, you are sure to find a program that touches your heart.

¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder’s electronic signature application DocuSign will soon have a different login experience. Starting Jan. 6, users can access the application with their IdentiKey information, no longer requiring a DocuSign-specific password.
