    If you have been exposed to the coronavirus (COVID-19), are under quarantine and/or awaiting test results, or if you have been informed by a public health department or a medical provider that you have tested positive or are presumptively positive for the coronavirus, or believe you are experiencing coronavirus symptoms, you must report your status. Please take the following steps.

    • Let your head of your business unit know immediately (or your professor, if you’re a student)
    • Follow the recommendations of the public health agency
    • Submit your case report

    These last two steps are especially important as we monitor the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) within the campus community and beyond. Gathering pertinent health information is essential to the well-being of the campus community.

    • Planning for the Safe Return to Campus | April 24, 2020 @ 2:28 p.m.
      As the week comes to a close, I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well. One of the hardest aspects of this pandemic is the amount of uncertainty it creates. We all have questions, including when the coronavirus disease will abate, what we’re expected to do in the meantime, and when we can get back to some semblance of normal. While I wish we had more definitive answers, I’m writing today to share the steps we’re taking in response to official guidance and what we’re doing to begin planning for an eventual safe return to campus. 
    • For Researchers: Campus COVID-19 Research Reconstitution Plan | April 24, 2020 @ 12:04 p.m.
      As noted by Chancellor Elliman in his recent announcement, we are planning now for a gradual increase of research activity on campus. While there will continue to be new developments and evolving plans, we wanted to share some additional information on our current strategies for increasing basic/laboratory and vivarium research (specific strategies regarding other types of research, including human subject protocols will be announced separately).
    • For Students: Modified Grading Option Extended Through Summer | April 23, 2020 @ 9:32 a.m.
      I am writing to you today with the news that CU Denver will be extending the option for modified grading into the summer 2020 semester. As most of you know, we announced that students will have the option to choose between their assigned letter grade or a P+/P/NP that will not impact their GPA at the end of the spring 2020 semester. Now you will have the opportunity to choose this option for your summer 2020 courses as well.
