Secured Campus Initiative

To prioritize the safety and wellbeing of employees, students, and other members of the campus community, Auraria Campus instituted a secured campus as of October 2023. Most buildings are now secured and require campus ID badge to access the building.

If you have a campus ID badge but it isn’t working, you may need to activate it. To activate your campus ID badge follow these steps:

1. Go to any exterior door card reader
2. Call AHEC Access Control (303-556-4296) during business hours, Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
3. When prompted by an Access Control representative, swipe your Campus ID badge on the card reader to activate.

To obtain a campus ID badge please visit the ID Station in the Tivoli Student Union.
