Graduate Students

Undergraduate Admission is now offering limited in-person campus tours. Virtual options are also available.

To keep our audiences and performers safe during the current health crisis, we are unable to invite you to visit the Newman Center for concerts.

• All in-person Newman Center Presents events through May 31, 2021 have been canceled or postponed. In response, the Newman Center has created a virtual season—more details can be found at the event listing.
• In addition, the Lamont School of Music will be streaming live concerts during our winter season. Visit du.edu/lamont/calendar for their schedule.

The fees students pay cover a number of services including support for student government, support for clubs and organizations (including club sports), the regional transit pass, and the Health and Counseling Center. The Coors Fitness Center and the Anderson Academic Commons (library) are not covered by fees, as they are included in our normal operating budget. 

This academic year, student government, student engagement (virtual and in-person), and club sports will be essential to the well-being of our campus both online and virtually. Our student government is already working to help return-to-campus planning by providing input, acting as ambassadors, and engaging with and lending support to students across the campus. Reducing fees would dramatically impact student government’s contribution. Student engagement will be done both virtually and in-person this year, making it available to all students regardless of their modality – unlike this past spring. Club sports, especially those played outside, will provide a foundational support to the well-being of our student body. Lifting these activities into a hyflex modality will cost more, but we have remained committed to not raising fees. The health and counseling fee is also unchanged even though the University is now offering both in-person and telehealth services, as well as a massive program to provide COVID-19 testing free to students. 

The costs have grown substantially for the services needed to keep students healthy and involved, and they are available to students regardless of modality. However, the pandemic is always changing, and our approach may need to adapt over the course of the term. If, for instance, the regional transit district (RTD) reverses its charges to the University, we will pass this along to the students. If the governor moves the state back to “stay at home,” we will reexamine our charges for fees and housing, as we did in the spring. For now, the University is not considering modifying or waiving any fees for this academic year.
