Ethics and Compliance

Program Descriptions

The University has adopted an institutional Ethics and Compliance Program that is intended to support a culture of ethics and compliance within the University community. An effective compliance program promotes the achievement of university goals and helps avoid the program disruption and financial loss that can accompany compliance failures. Faculty, staff, and students who work on behalf of The University of Colorado Denver are responsible for conducting themselves within the law and in keeping with the ethical standards of the university and the State of Colorado. This website is intended to assist university employees and students in the performance of that responsibility by providing information about compliance-related resources and materials.

The Office of Regulatory Compliance contains information on current university policies, links to related laws and regulations, and contact information for responsible parties.

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct is representative of the University’s core values and expectations for conduct. As employees, students and faculty, it is important for us to comply with the Code of Conduct and to report violations of the code. Witnessed or suspected violations of the code may be reported anonymously using the CU EthicsLine​ website or by calling 800-677-5590.

Ethics and Reporting

The University of Colorado is committed to conducting its affairs ethically and in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations as well as university policy. Each member of the faculty and staff is expected to share in this responsibility. The University of Colorado is also committed to preventing, detecting, and correcting violations of applicable laws, regulations, and policies.
