CU Denver Campus Alerts


Campus Observing Normal Operating Hours

Currently there are no emergencies on campus. Should an emergency arise, this page will be updated with relevant information.

 

Communication plays a critical role before, during and after any emergency or disaster. 

CU Denver will immediately notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on campus that involves an immediate threat to the health or safety of students, faculty, staff, or visitors. Such notification can be disseminated through a variety of communications methods as dictated by the incident. 

There are two types of emergency notifications:   

  • CU Denver Alerts!
  • Campus Timely Warnings

The CU Denver Emergency Notification System (CU Denver Alerts!) provides campus emergency alerts via text and/or email when conditions develop on or near CU Denver/Auraria that pose an imminent threat of danger to the Campus Community. 

Examples may include: 

  • Physical plant issues (e.g., natural gas leak, etc.)
  • Inclement weather closures or delays
  • Campus safety threats (e.g., robbery, active harmer, bomb threat, etc.)
  • Hazmat situations

When a specific crime covered by the Clery Act occurs, the Auraria Campus Police Department is required to evaluate if there is a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community to determine if a Timely Warning email needs to be issued to all faculty, staff, and students.
