The Office of Student Employment manages listings for on-campus jobs and jobs off-campus in the local community (nannying, restaurants, yard work, etc.).
Student Employment lists both work study and non-work study positions. You can see if you are eligible for work study by checking your Financial Aid tile in Buff Portal. If you are eligible, make sure you inform the hiring manager.
Many of the positions on campus offer $15 per hour, and students are often surprised by the skills and experience they gain.
The jobs list is updated each week, and you can receive a weekly email update about the latest jobs posted. Please send an email from your @colorado.edu address to sympa@lists.colorado.edu with the following contents: “Subscribe cuse-jobs@lists.Colorado.edu.”
There are also other ways to get involved on campus and pursue professional development, including gaining research experience, seeking an internship and pursuing in-demand certificates.
Students can use Handshake for more extensive and career-related job listings including national and international opportunities. Handshake is CU’s online recruiting tool and includes over 20,000 employers.
Career Advising: The FWYS academic advisor is also a career advisor and can help with exploring career interests, utilizing various career assessment tools and methods, internship & job search strategies, resumes/cover letters, interview preparation and practice, and any questions about graduate school. You are also welcome to utilize Career Services in the Center for Community.
The CU Writing Center, located in Norlin E111, offers free assistance with writing assignments including improving clarity and helping with writer’s block and procrastination. Students can schedule remote and in-person appointments. Students taking CE classes can also access the Online Composition Hub for similar services.
The Office of Undergraduate Education offers a comprehensive tutoring page with details on free and fee-based services for specific departments, classes and student populations, and you can also view resources relevant to you via the Tutoring & Learning Resources card in Buff Portal.
Students taking CE classes have the option to engage in up to 10 free hours of 24/7 tutoring services through Thinking Storm, which can be accessed via your CE course in Canvas.
Reference librarians are standing by to help with research and course assignments. They provide in-person assistance, as well as feedback on quick questions via the “Ask a Librarian” instant messaging service. You can also consult librarians based on subject matter expertise.
The CU Basic Needs Center offers food assistance through Buff Pantry (open by appointment on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays), mobile food pantries and SNAP support.

If you do not pay the CAPS fee, you still have access to free mental health services through CU Boulder Telehealth by AcademicLiveCare. They offer mental health support 24/7 for all students, including access to licensed psychiatrists for medication management and licensed dietitians for nutrition support and planning.
