Annual Reminder: Notification of Your Student Privacy Rights Under FERPA Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 09/09/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, to all enrolled students.

Dear [first],

As a 91PORN 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 91PORN 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 have authorized consent or 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 91PORN 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 education record 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 not treated differently than other students within the physical or virtual classroom. 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 91PORN should stay current with campus policies and guidance regarding student data privacy, compliance, security and other AI considerations and implications. See Artificial Intelligence at 91PORN.

Questions may be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

Sincerely,

Kristi Wold-McCormick, Ph.D.
Assistant Vice Provost and University Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, to undergraduate students who were admitted to a bachelor's–accelerated master's program, had an expected undergraduate graduation term of Fall 2025, and hadn't yet completed all of their graduation requirements.

Dear [first],

Our records indicate that you expected to complete the undergraduate requirements for your Bachelor's–Accelerated Master's (BAM) program in Fall 2025.

[Students who hadn't applied to a master's program or to graduate received the following text.]

If you still plan to complete your bachelor's degree this semester, you must complete three steps by Oct. 1, 2025. For recipients of financial aid, this will also help ensure a smooth transition to graduate funding and timely updates to aid next semester.

Apply to graduate with your bachelor's degree.
Submit a master's continuation form.
Submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which you're using toward the master's degree.

If you need to change your expected graduation term, please complete a BAM program change form so we can update your records.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

[Students who'd applied to a master's program but hadn't applied to graduate received the following text.]

Although you've applied to continue with your master's degree, you haven't yet applied to graduate with your bachelor's degree at the end of the semester. If you haven't already, you'll also need to submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which you're using toward the master's degree.

If this is still your expected graduation term, you must apply to graduate by Oct. 1, 2025. For recipients of financial aid, this will also help ensure a smooth transition to graduate funding and timely updates to aid next semester. If not, fill out the BAM program change form so we can update your records.

Colorado Residency Reminder (Targeted Message)

Colorado Residency Reminder (Targeted Message) Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 09/04/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025, to first-semester graduate and law students who were classified as nonresidents for tuition purposes.

Dear [first],

According to our records, you’re currently classified as a nonresident (out-of-state) for tuition purposes. As a graduate or law student, you may be eligible to petition for a change to resident (in-state) tuition classification for Fall 2026, provided you established physical presence in Colorado on or before August 19, 2025, and take the necessary steps to establish legal ties by the time periods outlined below.

To be eligible for a change to resident classification for any term, you must demonstrate at least 12 months of Colorado domicile before the term start.

Domicile is your true, fixed and permanent home of habitation. Establishing domicile requires physical presence (living in Colorado), severing legal ties to your former state and establishing new legal ties to Colorado in a timely manner after moving to the state.

Your Next Steps to Qualify for Fall 2025

If you moved to Colorado on or before August 19, 2025, and you’d like to petition for a change to resident classification for Fall 2026:

Take action now to establish legal ties to Colorado.
- Get a Colorado driver’s license or state ID within 120 days of moving to the state.
- Change your voter registration to Colorado if you are a registered voter.
- Register your vehicle in Colorado within 180 days of moving to the state.
- File income taxes as a Colorado resident.
  
  Review our adult petition information, graduate student video and graduate student handout for detailed requirements expected of a Colorado resident. It is your responsibility to review the requirements and ensure you have met them.
Submit your completed Adult Residency Petition between March 2, 2026 and July 10, 2026 (5 p.m.). Mark the final deadline on your calendar now.

*If you fail to take the required steps by the deadlines outlined above, your petition will be denied and you will be continue to be assessed out-of-state tuition.

**If you maintain legal ties to another state, your petition will be denied and you will continue to be assessed out-of-state tuition.

If you have individual questions about the petition process, please email the tuition classification office at tuitclass@colorado.edu.

Considerations for International Students & WRGP Participants

International students with student visas (e.g., F-1, F-2, H-3, J-1, M-1, M-2) do not typically qualify for in-state tuition and should not submit a petition without first contacting the tuition classification office at tuitclass@colorado.edu.

Graduate students who qualify for in-state tuition rates under the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) should not make changes to their domicile and should not petition for in-state tuition. WRGP applies to select academic programs only.

We sent this email on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, to students whose incomplete Summer 2025 residency was closed due to inaction.

Dear [first],

We have reviewed the petition and supporting documents you submitted for Summer 2025. After our initial review, we requested additional documentation or clarification regarding your residency petition. This request was sent to you by email and was noted in Buff Portal as a to-do item.

Because you did not submit the required documentation, your petition is now closed and will no longer be processed. Petition closures are final and may not be appealed.

If you believe that you qualify for in-state tuition classification, you are encouraged to petition for a future term. You must submit a new petition and include all required supporting documents within the published deadlines.

Please see our tuition classification for current students webpage for information about petitioning for future terms.

We've Extended Your COF Lifetime Hour Limit (Targeted Message) Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 08/29/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, to students whose COF lifetime 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 extension that allows your COF funding to continue through Summer 2026. 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 need COF hours beyond Summer 2026, you may submit a Colorado Commission on Higher Education waiver request to ask for additional hours.

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 Wednesday, Nov. 12, 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.

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025, to students who were still on a waitlist for one or more Fall 2025 Main Campus full-semester classes.

Dear [first],

You're still on a waitlist for one or more full-semester Main Campus classes.

Check Your Waitlist Position

What Happens Next

If a seat becomes available in your waitlisted class:

Between now and Aug. 29 at 5 p.m., the next eligible waitlisted student will be enrolled automatically. If you're enrolled automatically, you'll receive an email confirmation within 24 hours.
Between Aug. 30 and Sept. 7, contact the department offering the class to see if their policies allow them to enroll you manually. If not, you may want to remain on the waitlist so you're eligible for course reservation, which can guarantee you a seat the next time the course is offered.

On Monday, Sept. 8, waitlists are canceled. If you still aren't enrolled, you'll lose access to the class's online materials and be removed from the class roster. If you're eligible for course reservation, we'll email you a confirmation of your eligibility at the start of the next course reservation period.
