All CU Denver community members and their families can get tested for free on campus or in the community. Through our partnership with COVIDCheckColorado, you can sign up to get tested at various locations.

If you submitted for vaccine exemption, you have been automatically routed into a mandatory COVID-19 weekly testing program through Primary Health. To be recorded as compliant with this program in CU Denver’s database, you must do the following three things:

1. You must be tested at one of the on- or off-campus locations listed below.
2. You must use your University email address to sign up for a testing appointment.
3. You must schedule your appointment through this link or the unique link provided in your weekly email reminder.

Testing locations:

• 5th Street Garage (5th and Walnut)
• Denver Union Station
• 16th Street Mall (1600 California St.)
• George Washington High School
• All City Stadium
• Aurora Public Schools Professional Learning Conference Center (15771 East 1st Avenue)
• Instructional Support Facility (5416 S Riviera Way)
• Lakewood High School

In the coming weeks, if you do not schedule your test, you will not be allowed on campus and you will be placed on leave without pay until you complete the required testing. If an employee continues to fail to get tested as required, their supervisor will be notified and they may be subject to additional corrective and disciplinary action, including possible termination.

If you haven’t been vaccinated, we encourage you to get your COVID vaccination as soon as possible. All CU students, faculty, and staff are required to get the vaccine if you are on campus this academic year.

Free vaccinations are available on campus at the Health Center at Auraria in the Plaza Building, room 111. Scheduling hours through the fall semester are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Friday. Please also see the CDPHE website for all the locations that offer free vaccinations across the state.
