Last week, Larry Sampler, chief operating officer and vice president for Administration and Facilities Management, shared Metropolitan State University of Denver’s updated Required Health Protocols, developed in partnership with our fellow Auraria Campus institutions.

Required Health Protocols

These protocols were developed using updated federal, state and local guidance and have been put into place to protect the health and safety of all Roadrunners. Please consider your own health and safety as well as those of others and remain courteous as we all do our part to keep our community safe.

• Perform a health assessment daily before coming to campus (see below).
• Do not come to campus if you have any symptoms and/or are not feeling well. Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.  
• Per updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment, we have revised our mask and social-distancing protocols:
• Masks are no longer required for those fully vaccinated; those who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated should continue wearing a mask (bandannas and gaiters are not acceptable face coverings).
• Social distancing is no longer required.
• Wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently.

Other updates:

• Auraria Campus food vendors have updated their summer hours.
• See when Information Technology Services professionals will be assisting your department with return-to-campus tech issues.
• See updated hours for the 5^th Street Garage vaccination clinic.
• See the Safe Return to Campus webpage for updated FAQs not covered in last week’s Town Hall.
• Watch the Town Hall recording to learn more.
