Production Maintenance Complete for Sunday, June 22, 2025
All enterprise and business applications are in service at this time.
Portal Status: Green
In fall 2025, the Campus Solutions Student Self-Service upgrade will enable University of Colorado students to move from the Student Center in their portal to browser pages on desktops, smartphones and tablets.
In addition to the minor changes to the Student Center used by CU Denver and UCCS students, new navigation menus and other changes will improve all CU student self-service pages from Financial Aid, Student Records, Registration, the Bursar's Office and the Law Bidding page for CU Law School students.
The old and new Student Centers seen side-by-side highlights the changes.
Most icon options remain the same: Academics, Admissions, Class Search, Student Account, Financial Aid, Register for Classes and Profile.
Task—Holds and Tasks—To Do’s are now combined as one: Tasks (Holds & To-Do Items). Like the previous version, a notification alert appears as a number in a circle when you have an active To-Do item or a hold.
The Advisor option is now found under Academics in the left navigation menu.
The new navigation works on mobile devices, with slight differences. After clicking any icon on the Student Center, a new browser page will open to that area’s menu. Here’s an example from Financial Aid on a mobile device:
NOTE: Menu options may vary depending on your campus.
After you click and go to a specific page, use the back arrow to return to the Menu.
After a student clicks the Academics icon, an Academic Progress page will open in a new browser tab with a left-side menu that allows students to more easily navigate to different pages.
After a student clicks the Admissions icon, an Admissions page will open in a new browser tab with a left-side menu that allows students to more easily navigate to different pages.
There are no other significant changes under Admissions.
Students can search for classes using the filters on the left side menu.
In the previous version, when a student clicked the Financial Aid icon, a new frame would pop up the student portal displaying a Campus Solutions page with a financial aid menu.
NOTE: Some options, Summer Applications and Professional Judgement Estimator, are unique to specific campuses. Your menu options may vary depending on your campus.
After selecting one of the six menu items, students would select the aid year they wanted to view.
In the updated version, after a student clicks the Financial Aid icon in the Student Center, a new browser tab opens, asking the student to select the aid year first.
After selecting the aid year, navigation options appear on the new left-side menu of the default landing page for your Financial Aid Award Summary.
In the old version, students would scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Accept/Decline Awards and Financial Aid Summary buttons.
Those two options are available now as items on the left-side menu.
The workflow to accept or decline an award is the same with a slightly different layout. After a student selects Accept or Decline from a drop-down menu, they will select Submit. They also have the option to check Reduce.
Before you submit your graduation application, you need to confirm that your diploma reflects the correct name and will be sent to the appropriate address. You can do so by following these steps.

Clicking View Bills and Payment Options takes the student to Nelnet, CU’s electronic payment service provider, just as it did in the old version.
Under Direct Deposit Student Refunds, the same information is shared with an option at the bottom to enter your direct deposit account number, confirm and submit it. The only difference is the top graphic has been removed, simplifying the page.
