• Take a deeper dive into Office 365 features including Outlook, OneNote and Planner

Need to move a box, file cabinet, lab, or staff members?

We are here to help! This email provides basic information for moves.

As of January 1, 2020, relocations are now under an official campus policy requiring move services to be provided only through this program. This policy can be found here:

Campus Administrative Policy 3058, Relocation Services

There are two resources for relocation services that the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus supports:

• Facilities Projects           – Transition Project Management Program
• Facilities Management   – Facilities Construction Services

The Transition Project Management Program provides a streamlined process that includes: moving phones, addressing IT needs, changing locks, issuing keys, activating electronic access, transferring mail, setting up housekeeping services, providing packing materials and offering assistance with furniture planning for existing furniture. For lab moves we provide assistance with electrical and utilities work orders related to lab equipment placement.

In addition to providing moving services, the Transition Project Management Program must be advised of any incoming or outgoing research laboratories on our campuses. Please email  Transition Project Management  for any incoming and outgoing research laboratories.

Any moves not utilizing the Transition Project Management Program or Facilities Construction Services must obtain prior approval from the Transition Project Manager and University Risk Management to ensure proper insurance coverage and communication to the campus. Failure to do so may result in damage that is not covered by insurance.

Facilities Management Construction Services can also be used for small-scope moves within designated space and can be the cost efficient choice for having just one or a few pieces moved, including new equipment.

These guidelines apply to all University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus programs including those on the Auraria Campus and leased spaces

Please see attached table for more information

The FCQ administration dates for full-term classes are set to run in week 14 of the semester. These are the specific dates:

•     Denver, UCCS:   Monday, April 27 – Monday, May 4

We have set up weekly administrations for early ending classes. The FCQ windows are based on the course end date that is listed in CU-SIS. Classes may be moved to different administrations on request.

Generally, the windows will open on Mondays, and occasionally Tuesdays, at 11 a.m., with end dates varying from Friday - Sunday (depending on the dates of weekend classes).

For the full calendar, go to: https://www.colorado.edu/fcq/calendar.

Custom questions

The deadline for editing/submitting new custom questions for the fall semester is Friday, April 10. Requests received after the April 10 deadline will not go into effect until the summer 2020 semester.

Course auditing

Course audit files are posted online at https://fcq.colorado.edu/clist.htm. The course auditing window runs from Monday, March 2 through Wednesday, April 1. During this period the class roster will update each business day by 8 a.m.

If you need to update a short course that ends prior to March 2, contact the Jacki for assistance.

Remember, the FCQ class roster information is taken directly from CU-SIS. To update class or instructor information, you must notify Jacki during the course auditing window (3/2 – 4/1).  She will be sending a copy of her audit list for review by the faculty before the April 1st deadline.

2019 Fall FCQ results released

Initial FCQ reports for all campuses were released the week of December 23 and are currently available.

Instructors can access their individual reports through the faculty portal: https://colorado.campuslabs.com/faculty
