Capital Improvement Program

The process for the submittal of capital requests is governed by campus administration and the state of Colorado.

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is made up of requests for proposed facilities improvements in excess of $2,000,000, regardless of funding source. The CIP is approved through the campus and submitted to the state on an annual basis. The CIP, along with individual capital requests are reviewed in May of each year by the CU Board of Regents and approved in June.
