Campus Housing COVID Protocols

Using the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, local, state and federal authorities, we have continued to update our COVID-19 processes for our residential students. More information can be found on the Public Health Office website.

For our on campus residents: 

Environmental services staff continue to provide cleaning supplies like disinfecting wipes, floor sweepers and vacuums at the community centers in each residence hall. Students are encouraged to visit the community center desk and ask for what they need. Please bring the cleaning products back when done. 

  • Environmental services will continue to clean community bathrooms and high touch surfaces. 

  • Students, faculty and staff must 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. Find out how to get your COVID-19 vaccine and booster here on campus.

  • The CU Boulder campus became mask-optional at 6 a.m. on Monday, March 7. Note: masks will continue to be required after March 7 at the Wardenburg Health Center. 

Your responsibility as a residential community member

 

Continue to utilize public health and illness prevention measures:

  • Students in suites with private bathrooms should clean their restrooms and high-touched surfaces frequently.
  • Wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow.
  • Wear your mask as directed.

 

Speak to your roommate(s) about keeping a healthy living space to help set expectations. Discuss the following:

  • How often will each of you be cleaning your space?
  • What is your comfort level with guests in your room? 
  • Will you, or your guest, wear a mask in your room? 
  • What is your plan if you or your roommate(s) test positive for COVID-19?

If you have concerns that your roommate(s) are not following campus health and safety guidelines after having a conversation with them, you can connect with Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution for support and guidance.
