Coronavirus (COVID-19)

CU Anschutz has secured its own limited supply of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The university has begun scheduling vaccination appointments at the on-campus point of distribution for CU Anschutz employees and students not previously invited to schedule an appointment through our campus hospital partners. Appointments are first come, first served.

At this time, all CU Anschutz faculty, staff, and current students have been invited by email to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments. Depending on the phase in which you became eligible, you should have received an invitation to schedule through UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, or the university itself. If you are a CU Anschutz employee or student in need of a vaccine appointment and have not received an email invitation, please contact adminexceptions@cuanschutz.edu for assistance.

On Monday, March 29, Governor Polis announced that the state will move into phase 2 of vaccine distribution on Friday, April 2, 2021. All Coloradans 16 and older will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine during phase 2.

Campus safety protocols remain in place for everyone, including those who are fully vaccinated.

If you need to use the library at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, please remember that campus safety and screening protocols remain the same for the foreseeable future for everyone, so please complete the screening process online before coming to campus.

If you have questions, please contact ColoradoSPH.StudentAffairs@cuanschutz.edu.

Steps to take beforehand:

1. Be invited and approved to return by leadership. Contact Associate Dean for Administration and Finance Christine Gillen to receive specific approval. 
2. Take the required, one-time Skillsoft training CU: COVID-19 Return to Campus-CU Anschutz (2021 update) by March 31, 2021.

3 steps you must take each day you will be on campus:

1. Complete the health questionnaire each day before arriving on campus, and bring your confirmation email to a designated check-in point (details regarding check-in points are in the questionnaire).
2. Take your own temperature at home, or stop by a self-service station to do so.
3. Bring and wear your CU Anschutz badge and a face covering at all times, indoors and outdoors.

As of March 1, 2021, in-person screenings and wristbands are no longer required. The Hensel-Phelps check-in location remains open for anyone needing in-person assistance.
