Public Health Measures

  • CU Boulder employs a framework for public health and COVID-19 decision-making that follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.

  • Boulder County is currently classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the High community level.

  • COVID-19 data: Boulder County continues to publish the most current local COVID-19 metrics, which incorporate case metrics for CU Boulder affiliates. The CU Boulder COVID-19 dashboard is retired as of May 31, 2022.

  • Masks: Masks are optional on the CU Boulder Campus. 

    • While masks are optional on campus, we encourage those who prefer to do so to continue wearing them. Properly fitted N95 or KN95 masks remain an effective tool for preventing transmission, especially in conjunction with vaccination.

  • Vaccines: CU Boulder’s COVID-19 vaccine/booster requirement remains in place for all students, faculty and staff. 

    • Only vaccines that are approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) will meet the CU vaccine requirements.
