Spring Semester, No Changes to Current Plan
CU Denver currently has no changes to our spring 2021 semester start date of Jan. 19 and no changes to those classes planned for on-campus delivery. We feel fortunate that CU Denver has recorded no COVID transmissions in classrooms, labs, and studios. Furthermore, relative to our size, we have seen few cases in student housing and other areas of campus.
We thank the entire campus community for following safety protocols and making good decisions. We continue to meet with Denver Public Health and review the impacts of the pandemic on class delivery and campus operations to determine if modifications are needed. Any changes to the start date or format of the spring 2021 semester will be announced via university email.
