Choose Your GSBC Experience
GSBC is committed to helping community banks navigate a new era, adapting as necessary to ensure access to a valuable, state-of-the-art educational experience amid today’s challenges. We acknowledge the immeasurable value of in-person education while recognizing its risks in the COVID-19 environment. That is why GSBC is allowing students and supporters the option to choose from an in-person or virtual experience in 2021.
Health & Safety is Our Priority
The health and safety of GSBC students and faculty is our top priority. GSBC is working closely with the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) and the City of Boulder, and following official guidance offered by the State of Colorado and Centers for Disease Control to deliver an in-person session where classes, networking and campus living can be executed safely via rigorous health and safety measures.
As guests of the university, GSBC will adhere to CU Boulder protocol for all COVID-19 related items, including but not limited to: social distancing, mask protocol, required COVID-19 testing/monitoring, housing/dining, etc. This protocol is subject to change at anytime based on Boulder County public health orders and CU Boulder response.
Please use the information below to guide your decision between an in-person or virtual experience in 2021.
Upon enrollment, students will be asked to complete a survey where they will indicate their attendance preference.
