Our campus building access emphasizes safety and building security while still providing convenient access for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

  • Most academic buildings with scheduled classes will be open and unlocked between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to allow non-affiliates access to scheduled events and other activities. 

    • Doors unlocked between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. are electronic doors only. Manual action doors will remain locked at all times and be available for exit only. 

    • CU students, faculty and staff will continue to have extended access (from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.) to these same academic buildings via Buff OneCard swipe. 

    • A few buildings may maintain slightly different hours based on class schedules and staffing.

  • Prior access preferences established on Buff OneCards for students, faculty and staff will remain in place. Students, faculty and staff who normally have weekend and after-hours access to specific buildings will still have access to those buildings. 

  • CU affiliates needing special access to a specific building are asked to contact their building proctors, C-CURE operators or department chairs to request the authorization/access needed on their Buff OneCards. 

University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and Health and Wellness Services publish their respective hours on their websites.
