With a lack of inter-institutional and inter-agency coordination and the magnitude of a national disruption that included the Auraria Campus, moving to remote operations was a necessary step to prioritize your health and security.
Community College of Denver wholeheartedly supports our community members’ right to peacefully assemble and protest, including at the recent demonstration on the Tivoli Quad. Auraria Campus institutions are deeply committed to healthy civic debate and freedom of expression.
This occurred as Dr. Angie Paccione, Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Chief Executive Officer, met with protest leaders to hear their concerns. During that discussion, protesters stated their demands and once again threatened to disrupt commencements.
Protestors have informed campus leadership of their plans to continue protest activities, including disrupting commencement celebrations. To help ensure our college community remains safe, the Community College of Denver will continue remote learning and operations for the week.
While we recognize that college campuses are traditionally safe havens for civic engagement, freedom of expression should not come at the expense of respect for one another and must adhere to campus policies.
In response to the concerns raised by many of our employees and students regarding safety, we have made the decision to transition to fully remote operations and learning starting from 5:00 pm today, Monday, April 29, 2024, through Sunday, May 5, 2024.
Auraria Campus plans to make campus available after 11:00 a.m. on Friday, as weather permits. CCD will be remote all day Friday. We will return to normal operations on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
Due to inclement weather, CCD will be closed at ALL campus locations on March 14, 2024. No on-campus classes will be held at Auraria, Lowry, and AMC campus locations.
The CIBER (Center for International Business Education & Research) International Business Case Competition is an annual event in which students from different minority serving institutions and Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) are tasked with solving real-world business problems.
Graduation Applications were to be submitted by Feb. 10, 2024. This ensures you receive your diploma and that your degree or certificate appears on your transcripts, which employers often ask for.
