Please read below for an excerpt from a University communication about campus and office closures and work expectations during inclement weather. Click here to review the website about weather closures: Snow Closures.
As we approach the winter season, we want students, faculty, and staff to know expectations for teaching, learning, and working if campus is affected by inclement weather.
If weather conditions necessitate a closure:
- Any individual mandatory attendance policies for specific classes are suspended if campus is closed. Faculty should not require students to attend a class when campus is closed due to inclement weather.
- Staff who ordinarily work on campus do not need to report to campus and do not need to work remotely.
- Staff who have a remote work agreement in place also do not need to work that day.
- Essential personnel (who are already pre-identified by their departments, such as facilities staff) must report in-person. Classified employees and university staff who are part of Central Services and Administration (CS&A) units that support both CU Denver and CU Anschutz should check with their supervisors.
- A campus closure does not mean students, faculty, or staff are unaccountable for any classroom content or work duties that would have occurred on the closure day, but instead, should plan to fulfill those obligations on a different day.
**As a reminder to our university staff colleagues who regularly track work hours in addition to leave time, please add administrative leave or regular work time to your timesheet for the snow closure day in order to be paid correctly for that day.
