Identity Management Maintenance

May 20-23, 2025

As part of ongoing efforts to improve user experience and enhance IT security, the Identity Management team will be migrating a key system to the cloud from May 20 to 23. There is no impact expected for existing university users, though new student and employee accounts assigned during this time will be created after this maintenance window. ISS and OIT are working with multiple departments and vendors campuswide to implement this migration quickly and effectively. Please contact the OIT Service Desk at 303-724-4357 if you encounter any issues.

EMS Scheduling Modernization Project

 

The Event Management Software (EMS) is the university's tool for scheduling rooms and event services on both the CU Anschutz and CU Denver campuses. The EMS Modernization Project will transform and elevate our space and event scheduling services for an improved user experience.
