COVID-19 Boosters
On Nov. 10, 2021, Governor Polis introduced Executive Order D 2021 137, which makes all adults 18 and older in the state of Colorado eligible for a COVID-19 booster. CU affiliated students, faculty and staff who meet the criteria may receive a COVID-19 booster shot at the Wardenburg Health Center by appointment. Appointments are limited. COVID-19 booster shots are widely available throughout the state.
COVID-19 Vaccinations
On Sept. 9, 2021, President Biden announced an executive order requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for employees of federal contractors, including all workplaces like CU Boulder that employ more than 100 people and receive federal funding. Read about employee and student impacts here.
Student Emergency Fund
The fall 2021 application for the Student Emergency fund is open. The Student Emergency Fund provides support to CU Boulder students experiencing a crisis that could adversely affect their semester. The intent of the funding is to support students experiencing a temporary financial hardship as a result of COVID-19.
The funds are limited and not intended to provide ongoing relief for recurring expenses. Not all applications will be approved, even if a student meets the eligibility criteria.
HEERF Compliance Reporting information is available here.
