CSU’s Larimer County and Spur campuses remain closed today, May 6. All in-person, hybrid, and remote classes and operations (meetings, work functions) are canceled for Larimer County and Spur campuses.

Heavy, wet snow on tree branches has created hazardous conditions, particularly near the Oval, the Glenn Morris Field House area, and the Academic Spine south of the Clark Building. Avoid these areas and exercise caution near trees.
