To create a safe environment where students can learn and grow, CU Boulder requires applicants to disclose criminal and disciplinary history when applying to the university. The Conduct Review Committee (CRC) is tasked with reviewing those records to determine whether a student is eligible for admission, campus housing and participation in campus life. Through established policies and procedures, the CRC supports campus safety and helps provide opportunities for students to succeed.
About the Conduct Review Committee
The CRC is a committee made up of CU Boulder staff representatives with student affairs, admissions, law enforcement, and equity and compliance experience. The Dean of 鶹Ժ and Assistant Vice Chancellor of OIEC, or their designees, co-chair the committee.
The committee was formed to establish and implement processes that enhance campus security, while also helping to provide inclusive access to higher education. CU Boulder recognized that requiring students to broadly disclose criminal and disciplinary histories before being admitted could deter otherwise academically eligible students from applying. The CRC also believes a student’s mistake should not always define the rest of their academic career.
To balance these considerations and comply with the law, CRC policies limit the nature of criminal and disciplinary history that CU Boulder can consider for student admission. Once a student is accepted, they are then required to provide a broader disclosure. The CRC reviews the pre- and post-admission disclosures.
