As a reminder, building access hours are changing starting Sunday, Sept. 24. Most academic buildings with scheduled classes will be open and unlocked between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to allow non-affiliates access to scheduled events and other activities.

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. 

Full information and FAQs can be found on the campus building access page. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Andrew Kosinuk at the CU Police Department at andrew.kosinuk@colorado.edu.
