Current CU Denver floor plans show shared and single bedroom configurations, shared or private bathrooms, kitchenettes and full kitchens depending on building and unit type.

Accepted Answer

Current floor plans identify private bathrooms for some studios and shared bathrooms for multi-bedroom or multi-occupancy suites. Families should verify the exact selected unit.

Accepted Answer

Published Lynx Crossing floor plans list beds, desks, desk chairs, dressers and common-area furniture in applicable units.

Question 10

Wi-Fi, utilities and resident laundry are included for all published Lynx Crossing floor plans for 2026–27.

Question 13

Can parents access a college student's education records if the student is our tax dependent?

Accepted Answer

FERPA's tax-dependent exception allows a postsecondary institution to disclose records to a qualifying parent without student consent. CU Denver may require documentation.

FERPA rights transfer when a student turns 18 or attends a postsecondary institution at any age. A 17-year-old CU Denver student generally controls college education records.

CU Denver may share relevant information with parents or other appropriate parties when necessary to protect the student or others. This does not create routine parental access.

Question 17

Families should plan for the published move-in appointment and avoid travel plans that depend on early access.
