Remote Work Monday, May 18, During Commencement, 5-4-2026

Dear students, faculty and staff,

It’s a busy and exciting time of year on campus as we prepare for spring commencement ceremonies. We anticipate large numbers of visitors on Monday, May 18, as we celebrate our newest graduates.

If you are not part of commencement activities, we encourage you to work remotely on Monday, May 18, if possible. This will help reduce campus congestion and make room for our guests. Normal campus operations will resume on Tuesday, May 19. 

Please remember that changes in university operations do not affect operations at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital or Children's Hospital Colorado. Hospital and clinic operations are normal unless otherwise announced by those facilities. Students, faculty and staff assigned to work in the clinics/hospitals on campus must report to work unless the hospitals or clinical sites announce changes in their operations.

Our gratitude goes to the facilities management team, the events team and the campus police for their efforts in preparing for commencement ‒ and to the essential personnel whose on-site roles keep our campus running every day.

Thank you for helping us create a memorable commencement experience for our graduates and the many friends and family members who will join us to celebrate. 

Sincerely,

Don Elliman
Chancellor
