Public Health Measures
COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters
To comply with CU Boulder’s updated COVID-19 guidance, members of the campus community are required to receive a vaccine booster shot by Feb. 24 or five months after receiving the final dose of the original series, whichever is later.
Students, faculty and staff must upload proof of boosters or file for an exemption based on medical, ethical or moral grounds through the MyCUHealth portal. Individuals who previously submitted an exemption do not need to take further action at this time and will be considered in compliance with current university vaccine requirements.
Students, staff and faculty will not get a confirmation email that proof of vaccination or vaccine exemption was successfully submitted. Immunizations compliance staff will contact you if any additional information is required.
COVID-19 Vaccinations
Only vaccines that are approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) will meet the CU vaccine requirements.

Spring 2022 starting remotely
Campus will begin our spring 2022 semester remotely in order to support our community as we respond to the Marshall Fire amid rising COVID-19 cases.
Marshall Fire
We know that many of our students, faculty and staff have been affected by the Marshall Fire, and our university will do everything we can to provide support.
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.
