Student Portal Access Recovery
Students no longer attending Anschutz Medical Campus, who have 1098-T forms, have limited access to UCDAccess student portal for three years after their most recent 1098-T form. Listed below is the University of Colorado Denver│Anschutz Medical Campus Office of Information Technology (OIT) webpage describing what is needed to regain portal access.
