Crisis Management

In the event of an emergency or weather-related closure on campus, your student will immediately be notified via email and can sign up for alerts on their phone as well. The DU website will display an alert whenever necessary, but the best tactic to stay up-to-date on campus happenings is to follow us on Twitter. For any questions, consult our Office of Emergency Preparedness site.
