DU COVID-19 Alert Level

Blue

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 blue, indicating "virus prevalence is low on campus and community transmission is substantial or high in the surrounding community, conditions on campus are well controlled, testing capacity and supply chain are strong, and compliance with DU COVID-19 protocols is high." For up-to-date information on cases, visit the COVID-19 dashboard.

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.
