New! Emergency Notification System
You can expect to find your personalized e-mail invitation to participate in the new Campus Emergency Notification System in your e-mail Inbox by tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 1.
As soon as you receive your personal access information, you’ll be able to sign in at 3n's website. This service allows you to select your preferred ways for receiving information when there’s a threat of imminent danger on or near the University of Colorado Denver locations including the Anschutz Medical Campus, 9th Avenue and the downtown Denver Auraria Campus.
Keep in mind that this new Campus Emergency Notification System will not replace other communication such as public address systems in our buildings, e-mail notices or electronic signage. This new service will be especially helpful if something happens just before or after business hours or if you are traveling between or across our campuses.
Your safety is a top priority. So, look for an e-mail with your personalized information, and be sure to register right away!
Questions can be referred to emer@uchsc.edu.
