Self-Disclose Your Vaccination Status

Disclose Vaccination Status
Fall 2021 Vaccine Requirement
All students, faculty, and staff are required to get a COVID-19 vaccine before the fall 2021 semester. Get your vaccine through the campus clinic or at any other location.
All COVID-19 vaccines are free. For vaccine questions, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment provides a toll-free hotline available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 1-877-COVAXCO (1-877-268-2926).
Individuals who want to apply for a vaccine exemption must self-disclose their status and submit to routine COVID-19 testing during the fall semester. CU Denver's process allows exemptions to anyone who requests one for religious, medical, or personal reasons.
If you submit for a vaccine exemption, you will automatically be routed into a mandatory COVID-19 weekly testing program through Primary Bio. The testing program offers both on- and off-campus locations to conduct saliva or nasal testing (the type of test is dependent on the testing location) free of charge. Please see below for a list of participating testing locations:
- 5th Street Garage (5th and Walnut)
- Union Station
- 16th Street Mall
- George Washington High School
- All City Stadium
- Aurora Public Schools
- Instructional Support Facility - Aurora
- Lakewood High
If you are part of the routine testing program, you will receive an email from Primary Health each week with the link to schedule your test. You may also schedule your test here. Please see below for important information regarding the testing program:
- You must be tested at one of the locations listed above. We do not accept results from locations outside of those listed.
- We do not accept rapid tests from any location.
- You must use your university email address to schedule an appointment
- You must schedule a COVID-19 test during each academic week (Monday through Friday) of the semester
- You do not need to wait for test results to be received before attending class or work; please plan to attend class or work while results are processing.
Additional details, including exact testing locations and available appointment times, will be communicated to you directly through Primary Bio in the coming weeks. Failure to complete weekly testing may result in disciplinary action. For further questions regarding testing or vaccine exemptions, please reach out to the CU Denver Vaccine Verification Team.
