The emergency preparedness team consists of representatives from Facilities, Landscaping and Grounds, Finance & Administration, Environment Health & Safety and ÌðÐÄÊÓƵapp Police. They work together to monitor conditions and make informed decisions on the university's operating status. Factors that would influence a closure include severe conditions that make it impossible to keep campus sidewalks, entryways and parking lots clear, and impassable roads in the immediate area (ÌðÐÄÊÓƵapp's off-campus centers in Denver, Loveland and Colorado Springs make choices based on conditions in their area).
In the event of a severe overnight storm, the operating status of the university is available at by 6:30 a.m.
As a reminder, closures are communicated the following ways:
- Online: and
- By Phone: The inclement weather phone line, 970-351-4100;
- Media: Closures are reported to area media, including Denver TV stations;
- E-Alerts: Notifications of closures are sent to campus phones and computers through voice, text and email messages and to subscribed cell phones through text messages from ÌðÐÄÊÓƵapp's Emergency Alert system. To find out how to sign up your cell phone, visit .
Please remember that calling the ÌðÐÄÊÓƵapp Police Department to confirm the university operating status is not necessary.
