AcademiC CALENDAR              

Turn in your course schedule to your high school counselor. Continue to communicate with your counselor and parents/guardian on your progress. We want you to be successful, so if you are struggling with the course, let us know early on so we can help you to find the support you need. 

IMPORTANT

• Buy your textbooks and pay any of the student fees required. 
• Login on the first day of class, regardless when your class starts
• Remember to check your CU email frequently. 
• The course syllabus that the teacher provides lists all of the reading and course assignments. Check the syllabus daily to stay on top of what needs to be done. Also, when the class is finished, save the syllabus in an electronic file - you may need it when transferring the credit to a university!

The Curiosity & College Life experience is designed for 1st Generation college bound students. The class will meet for 2-2.5 hours M-Th on the CU Boulder campus and students will earn credits through WRTG 1150. To sign up, click on the Sign Up For Courses button above.

This class meets the General Education requirement for lower-division writing in the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Media, Communication and Information, and the Leeds School of Business. It also meets the Colorado Council of Higher Education’s Guaranteed Transfer requirements for an intermediate writing course (GT-C02).

If you have specific, individual needs (i.e. 504 or IEP), you must contact CU’s Office of Disability Services to learn about how your needs will be met. Accommodations provided at the high school may not be allowed as reasonable accommodations at the college level. Please do this as soon as possible so that accommodations are in place when classes start.  For more information from the Colorado Department of Education please click here.

BVSD pays the local community college tuition rate (after COF is applied), regardless of which college or university the student attends. For example, tuition for approved courses taken at Colorado Community Colleges are fully covered, but families are responsible for the additional tuition costs of any other public post-secondary institution.
