DU COVID-19 Alert Level

Yellow

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the University of Denver is keeping students, faculty, staff, alumni and neighbors fully informed through our COVID-19 website and other means. Our current alert level is yellow, indicating "virus prevalence is low to moderate on campus and community transmission is substantial or high in the surrounding community, conditions on campus are well-controlled with strong testing and supply chain capacity, but indicators point toward potential challenges in responding to the increased rate of transmission and/or declining compliance with DU COVID-19 protocols." For up-to-date information on cases, visit the COVID-19 dashboard.

Given rising cases, we will begin winter/spring team with remote classes and meetings through Jan. 17, returning to in-person classes and meetings Jan. 18.

We encourage our community to learn more about the virus from your health care providers, National Jewish Health, the Colorado Department of Health & Environment, and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. In-person campus visits are available, but limited. Undergraduate Admission also offers virtual visits.
