CU Alert Test

*CU Alert Test* This is a test of the CU Boulder Alerts emergency notification system. This is only a test. No response or action is required. Be sure you know what to do in an actual emergency situation, and learn about CU Boulder’s three tiers of alerts: https://alerts.colorado.edu  

Testing of the emergency notification system is required by the Clery Act, a federal law: https://www.colorado.edu/clery/ 

The test will include text and email notifications, as well as notifications on social media platforms such as CU Boulder Police and CU Boulder Alerts accounts on X (formerly Twitter).
