Online Scheduling

Remote Work Continues

Remote work for employees will continue until further notice. A phased approach for returning to work on campus is underway.

All employees should continue with remote work until instructed otherwise.

CU Boulder leadership announced a phased approach beginning May 26 for employees to return to work on campus. It’s important that we continue to minimize the number of people coming to campus and research facilities, and that we take actions to prevent opportunities for infection. Depending on their roles and personal circumstances, some employees will continue to work remotely for an extended period. Critical services employees will continue their work schedule in consultation with their supervisors.
