How to stay up to date on weather related closures or delays:
In the event of a Denver campus closure, delayed start, or early dismissal, you may receive a text message and/or email notification. You can also call 1-877-556-3637, go to www.ahec.edu, or visit CU Denver’s Twitter (X) and other social media channels after 5:30 a.m. To make sure you’re signed up for emergency text alerts, visit the CU Denver Emergency Management & Campus Safety website. Although the Auraria campus has protocols in place to monitor and prepare for inclement weather, we encourage our campus community to keep an eye on the local weather forecast to prepare for any of the above options.
Attendance policies during Denver campus closures:
- Any mandatory attendance policies for specific classes are suspended if campus is closed. Faculty should not require students to attend an in-person class when campus is closed due to inclement weather.
- 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.
- Staff who ordinarily work on the Denver campus do not need to report to campus but may be permitted and choose to work remotely.
- Staff who have a remote work agreement in place, where weather is not impacting their ability to work, may choose to work in accordance with their remote work agreement.
- 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.
