For campus weather closures, UCCS uses multiple ways to communicate with students and employees through UCCS Alerts: 

• Text messages – Make sure your number is registered with UCCS Alerts to receive emergency communications. Students are automatically enrolled with their contact information in their MyUCCS portal. Employees and parents can register as well through rave.uccs.edu. 
• Email – All students and employees are registered to receive emergency communications to their UCCS email accounts. 
• Website – Weather impacts are posted to the main uccs.edu page, alerts.uccs.edu and at FlashAlerts. 
• Social media – UCCS Alerts communication is posted to the Facebook and Twitter pages for UCCS Emergency Management, UCCS Police and the main UCCS account. 
• Traditional media – During weather events, traditional broadcast and print media rely on FlashAlertsfor updated information on closures, and will also share that information. 
• Phone – UCCS Police maintain a closure number at (719) 255-3346. People can call that number to learn if the campus is open, on a modified schedule or closed. 

UCCS Police will be conducting a campus wide lockdown drill today.  The lockdown drill is designed to evaluate UCCS emergency preparedness for an active shooter/threat event.  The drill will be observed by UCCS Police and support staff. There will not be a police response to classrooms during the drill.  This is an opportunity to evaluate the training that has been delivered across campus for the Standard Response Protocol. 

An Alert message will be sent to identify the start of the drill and here is what we ask you to do:

• Stop what you are doing immediately.
• When you hear it. Do it. Lockdown! Locks, Lights, Out of Sight!
• Students – Move away from sight. Maintain silence. Prepare to evade or defend.
• Staff – Lock interior doors. Turn out the lights. Move away from sight. Do not open the door.
• Maintain silence. Prepare to evade or defend.
• Persons with disabilities should be assisted to a safe location.
