OIT’s Northstar Application Server (https://northstar.colorado.edu/) will be retired on April 3, 2023. If you are a regular user of Northstar, the application you should use instead is the Messaging and Collaboration Request Portal, also known as Aurora. Aurora was developed by OIT to securely connect information from LDAP and the AD for use by IT Professionals.
If you have yet to use Aurora, please visit https://aurora-admin.colorado.edu/admin to log in. Please note: While all Northstar users are provisioned with Aurora, you will need to use DUO Multi-factor Remote Access to securely log in to Aurora. Visit our DUO MFA page for instructions on downloading and using DUO.
As a reminder, information within both Northstar and Aurora is subject to The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA is a federal law that governs how we protect and disclose student educational records, and it’s required that CU Boulder comply at all times. Review the Office of the Registrar’s guidance and stay current on your required FERPA training to ensure you are complying with FERPA.
If you have any questions about this change or about using Aurora, please contact the IT Service Center at 303-735-4357 or oithelp@colorado.edu.
