The University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz recognizes that serving alcohol at events may be allowed with proper approvals. Well-planned and managed events can decrease the risk of alcohol-related incidents.
Departments hosting events with alcohol have overall responsibility and accountability for properly managing their events in accordance with Colorado State liquor laws and university campus policies and procedures.
As of November 1, 2023, all Event With Alcohol requests must be submitted using the electronic Alcohol Authorization Form (see Step #7 below). The previous Events with Alcohol PDF form will no longer be accepted or processed after this date.
Prior to submitting an Alcohol Authorization Request, please take the following steps.
In general, the approval process for an event with alcohol, on-campus or off-campus, follows the routing process detailed below:
Requests should be submitted at least 30 days prior to event date to allow the Department Approvers, Alcohol Advisory Committee, and Campus Leadership (when required) sufficient time to review.
Please direct any questions related to events with alcohol to Caroline Quane at fs-compliance@ucdenver.edu.
