Crisis Management
In the event of an emergency or weather-related closure on campus, your student will immediately be notified via email and can sign up for alerts on their phone as well. The DU website will display an alert whenever necessary, but the best tactic to stay up-to-date on campus happenings is to follow us on Twitter. For any questions, consult our Office of Emergency Preparedness site.
DU Parents Program
Our Parents Program is your primary resource for communication, events and opportunities for involvement. From reading parent "survival guides" to finding academic counseling to sending your student a cake, our Parents Program can help you stay connected to your student's DU experience.

Housing & Safety
Housing & Residential Education
Students live on campus and have a meal plan for their first two years. Learn about our efforts to make the residential experience a quality and meaningful one for every student. You can also learn about how our commitment to diversity and sustainability is a key element of residential life.
Off-campus Housing
We don't provide off-campus housing ourselves, but we're happy to help connect students and their families with resources for finding living spaces off campus.
Campus Safety
The Department of Campus Safety works to keep students, faculty and staff safe and secure. The department is staffed 24 hours a day year-round by trained professionals who advance a community approach to safety, with escorts available for any student who feels uncomfortable walking on campus after dark. If you have any questions, please call 303-871-2334.
Homecoming & Family Weekend
Each fall, hundreds of alumni and parents come to campus to celebrate Homecoming & Family Weekend. The festivities and experiences bring the DU community together and allow everyone to participate in time-honored traditions and cheer on our Pioneers. Take part in personalized, student-led campus tours, enjoy the diverse and excellent food lineup at Taste of DU, catch up with your student and watch the always-exciting Pioneer hockey team take on a worthy opponent.
