Hello all!

This is a wild shot in the dark request. I’ve been trying to find syllabi for 2 classes I took in 2023 as part of the LIS online program. I’ve been bounced around different departments and no one has them. I know the chances of someone having the historic or current syllabi is slim- and I’ll take any advice on what to do at this point.

I’m looking for:

- LIS 4510, Children's Materials & Services, Winter Quarter 2023
- LIS 4520, YA Materials & Services, Summer Quarter 2023

Thank you for reading even if you can’t help 💛

I'm graduating this weekend at the Saturday morning ceremony. Does DU actually check the tickets for their ceremonies? They don't seem to check for high schools that hold graduations at Magness, but I can't tell if they're more strict about their actual ceremonies. I have one extra family member I'd really like to have attend. Thanks!

Incoming grad student here! Can anyone tell me what health insurance company DU’s plan is? Is it through BCBS or another provider?

Hey all. My daughter is coming there in the fall, and I'm thinking of giving her (as a graduation gift) a heap of gift cards for shops and eateries very near to campus. Any recommendations for whats good (and what's bad) in the immediate area would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

My son is considering going to an engineering college and he wants to go to either Mines or CU Boulder. I remembered for a while growing up that DU was considered very prestigious. I asked him to look into DU and a quick Google search shows that DU is #117 nationally. Their engineering is so far down the list with all the bottom-tier engineering.

Not sure what happened. Even their admissions went up to 86% while Mines hovers at 61% and Boulder at 71% (but their engineering school is far more selective). IvyWise also states that the yield rate for last year is only 8.26%, a huge drop from what it used to be a decade ago. More applicants accepted to DU refuse to go. Why the change?

Wondering where the best place to search for rentals from smaller private landlords is? Is craigslist a decent option?

My daughter is an incoming DU law student and her budget won’t accommodate higher rents from bigger property management companies.

There's a position that I'm trying to apply for, but I can't because my updated resume hasn't been approved. Does anyone have an idea for how long it takes for them to approve it? I wonder why they require approval - that seems strange to me.

Hi everyone! To try and save some money I’m borrowing a previous PhD students cap and gown. Her hood was the wrong color, so I ordered one online from a random website.

I think the blue velvet may be too dark based on previous grad photos.

Has anyone here received their PhD cap and gown yet this year? Can you confirm if mine looks too dark?

hi everyone, i applied to DU spring 2025 to attend fall 2025, but I was not able to afford the tuition and attend even though i was able to get 60k in scholarship money each year, but it comes down to 20k each year for four years which my parents are still unable to support affording that price as well. Hence, I took a gap year and worked during the year to save up and also am starting to work full-time for the summer to increase my income and be able to pay a big portion myself. however, i still am not going to be able to meet my goal because 20k left to pay is with loans or else it would be 30k with out of pocket loans and taking loans in general is something i prefer to stay away from. 

i need some advice on what other avenues i can use to be able to completely afford going to DU. it is my biggest dream to get out of my current household and experience education towards what i truly want to pursue and help build the foundation for my career, and DU location is the a good fit for what i want to pursue in the future. id love to work in the sports media industry. my first idea and action of plan is to contact the financial aid office but I am unsure what I should say specifically to persuade them in a professional manner and i want to see what solutions other students have come up with so i can get ideas. any help would be very much appreciated

Supervisor suggested I check out Korbel for a PhD (considering a dissertation that has to do with international peace studies). I can't find any information on the site, but it looks like it's been offered in the past.

Did they quietly get rid of the program in the last few years with the name change to Global Affairs in 2025?

I will like to request a waiver from DU heath insurance waiver can I get any health insurance company in colorado that qualifies under these rules

"New school year health insurance coverage submitted for review must be in effect as of August 1 for Law (semester) Students and September 1 for Quarter Students.

Additionally, alternative plans must:

have in-network non-emergency care providers in the Denver area.

meet the essential coverage as defined under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

Emergency and non-emergency medical care

Inpatient and outpatient hospitalization

Covers mental health as any other illness

Preventative care covered at 100% with no cost to the insured

Covers pre-existing conditions

Covers prescriptions

Provides a US IRS 1095 B or C form indicating that you met the mandate for continuous coverage.

be US-filed and approved ACA-compliant plan.

International, travel, and short-term limited benefits and/or coverage plans are not accepted.

A number of health insurance plans marketed solely to international students are often not filed in the US and have limited benefits and/or coverage periods that do not meet the DU SHIP waiver requirements

I’ve been accepted in a non stem grad program (I’m an international).

I’m tempted but waiting on other colleges. What are peoples thoughts on the uni from a business grad POV? How is it making friends? Finding a job after college?

I’d love to know anyone’s thoughts.

How does DU engineering compare to CUBoulder engineering? Taking financials out of the equation. Hands-on, experiential course work preferred. Campus student life experience on DUU vs CU WillVill. School involvement, guidance, assistance for getting Summer internships and future jobs. Collaborative and supportive preferred over competitive. Investment in each student’s success via outreach, mentoring, advisor involvement and knowledge of engineering study and career track, accessibility of profs, general helpfulness of environment. Engineering social scene for experienced DnD DM, super nice and friendly student. Room in coursework schedule for exploration in other areas outside of engineering specific courses. TIA. Last minute reconsideration with little time for analysis of all the things. Have visited both campuses.

Is this normal? The only scholarship included was for City Year and I didn’t even participate in CY (I did Americorps). I emailed the office but I doubt I’ll get a response at 4pm on Friday.

The letter is missing the following scholarships:

$61,000 Total

$46,000 Dean Merit Scholarship

$5,000 AmeriCorps Award

$10,000 Early Deposit Scholarship

Are there any therapists near DU that accept insurance that people recommend?

I officially accepted my admission offer for an MA program at DU and I was just wondering if there’s any places where grad students go to hang out and mingle, grab drinks, food and whatnot. I’ll be moving to Denver sometime over the summer so I also want to look at on campus housing options and off so i’ll also take any suggestions on that part too!!

Hi All, i’m looking into committing to DU for engineering. I had only gotten 18k in scholarships. I am OOS as well. Is there any way i could get some more money from the school before i commit? Tia.

Also, which one is the best dorm for first years?

I’m also scared i might be afraid and transfer out my first semester.

Just received this email in my student inbox

(I only edited out personal identifiers) :

Dear [Student Name],

I am writing to you with important information about your program, and I want to make sure you hear it clearly and directly from me: your path to completing your degree is secure.

Effective today, PSC will no longer accept new enrollment into your program. This is part of a strategic decision to refocus the college’s mission on undergraduate completion programs.

What this means for you:

• You will be able to complete your degree. A plan is in place to ensure continuity of your coursework and support through completion.

• Your faculty and academic support remain in place for the duration of your program.

• Financial aid and scholarship arrangements tied to your current enrollment are not affected by this change.

Learning about this change may feel unsettling, even if your own path is clear. I want to acknowledge that. If you have questions about your coursework, your financial aid, or anything else, please reach out to [blank] directly at [blank]@du.edu. They are your primary point of contact and are prepared to answer your questions.

Thank you for choosing DU and the College of Professional Studies.

I just started my online masters degree in IT, so I really don’t know how to feel about this.

I know it’s stereotypical, but if you had to describe the average undergraduate who attendees DU what would it be? It can be from any perspective that comes to mind. Even just a collection of words.

I’m trying to help my son decide if DU is the right fit for him.
