Welcome

At the University of Colorado our primary purpose is student education, development, and success.  To help make this happen, we partner with parents to enhance our students’ educational experience and contribute to their success.  The Office of Parent Relations and the CU Parents Association (CUPA) foster this partnership through a variety of communications, programs, and events.

An informed parent is an asset to their student’s success at CU.   Be that parent with a few quick steps:

As a department within the Division of Student Affairs, we are here to help with what you need to know.

“Thank you for your really incredible communications!  You have bridged the gap of distance and I couldn’t wish for a closer connection.  By making what seems like a far away and large school feel close and inviting, you made CU a home away from home and a passage to independence for both myself and my daughter!”
