Vaccines are required at CU Denver

The Health Center at Auraria offers COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots. Additionally, local pharmacies and healthcare providers offer COVID vaccinations that may be more conveniently located.

At this time, there is no routine testing program for unvaccinated individuals. 

It is highly recommended that unvaccinated individuals test often and protect themselves and others by wearing a mask whenever possible. 

See our testing page for more information on where to get a test.

If you have questions, reach out to the CU Denver Vaccine Verification Team.

CU Denver tracks vaccination data based on a web-based self-disclosure system. Through this system, all students, faculty, and staff must self-disclose their vaccination status or file for an exemption on the basis of medical, religious, or personal reasons.

For students, CU Denver can also confirm vaccination status for Colorado students with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.

Please email vaccineexemption@ucdenver.edu with questions about this process.

All faculty or staff who work on campus or have the possibility of having to work on campus are required to get vaccinated.

CU believes that doing so will support the health and safety of campus communities and the cities that call our campuses home. It will lower the rate of infection. Additionally, a vaccination requirement will further the goal of having an on-campus experience that is critical to academic success and personal growth. Learn more at the CU System Vaccine Requirement page.
