Campus Closure Reminders

As winter sets in, please refer to our closure policy.

When the campus is closed, all classes are canceled except asynchronous online courses. Asynchronous online courses will follow the course syllabus. Synchronous online, in-person, hybrid and hyflex courses are canceled.  

For a delayed campus opening, all classes with meeting times that begin before the campus opening time are cancelled for that day, including synchronous online, in-person, hybrid, and hyflex classes. For example, when the university is on a two-hour delay until 10 a.m., a class that begins at 9:25 a.m. will not meet that day.  

During an early closure, class may meet until the closure time.  

When there is a campus disruption, the recommendation for faculty teaching in-person, hybrid, hyflex, and synchronous online courses is to extend deadlines for assignments and exams due in Canvas, since students may rely on campus or other closed locations for internet access. Please work with students whose circumstances may vary and support their ability to complete assignments and exams when impacted by a campus closure. 
 
Information concerning campus delays or closure is posted by the campus police dispatch center. Information is available in several ways: on the Internet at UCCSAlerts , via FlashAlert News, or by calling the campus Emergency Information Line at 719-255-3346, listening to local radio and TV stations, and via e-mail sent out to staff, faculty, and students.
