Have you been in direct or close contact* with a confirmed COVID-19 case?

If Yes:
- Self-Report Now
- If you are up-to-date* on your COVID-19 vaccinations:
Up-to-date is defined as having received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible.- Self report your up to date vaccination status. If you have NO symptoms, and NO positive COVID-19 diagnosis, you will be cleared to return to campus.
- If you are NOT update-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations:
- Go home immediately and quarantine
- Await guidance from the COVID-19 Team
If No:

Have you received a positive COVID-19 test result in last 14 days, or since the onset of symptoms?
If Yes:
- Self-Report Now
- Go home immediately and isolate
- If you tested positive over 10 days ago and you are feeling better, you may return to campus
- Await further instruction from the COVID-19 Team and/or the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment
If No:
- No need to self-report, or isolate.
Please note that the self-reporting form is NOT the same as the vaccine verification and exemption form and should not be used to self-report your vaccination status.
After submitting your self-report - if you do not receive an auto-clearance email allowing you to be on campus - let your supervisor/professor know and stay home until contacted with further instructions. Follow the recommendations of the CU Denver Contact Tracing Team, public health agency and/or medical provider. Please do not return to on-campus activity until the recommended guidance return date and when you are feeling better.
