CU System Administration uses the RAVE alert system to share important notifications with employees. These include Open Enrollment reminders, UIS maintenance and outage alerts, and — for CU System Administration employees — building emergency and weather closure alerts.

While some alerts are sent automatically by email, text alerts require you to sign up using the RAVE webform.

Below is a breakdown of the alerts available and who they apply to.

Open Enrollment text reminders

Who this is for: All benefits-eligible CU employees

Benefits-eligible CU employees across the university can sign up to receive text reminders during CU’s annual Open Enrollment period, which typically takes place in late April.

These brief reminders highlight important deadlines and help ensure you complete your enrollment before Open Enrollment closes.

Important: Open Enrollment alerts require a separate signup. Even if you already receive weather closure or UIS maintenance alerts, you must still enroll separately for Open Enrollment text reminders.

UIS maintenance and outage alerts

Who this is for: Employees at any CU campus

Employees across CU can sign up for email and/or text alerts about UIS systemwide maintenance and unplanned outages.

These alerts provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance as well as updates during unexpected service interruptions that affect university systems.

The registration form also includes an option to receive non-production maintenance window alerts, which are only relevant for IT professionals whose work may be affected during those windows.

Building emergency and weather closure alerts

Who this is for: CU System Administration employees

CU System Administration employees can sign up for text alerts about 1800 Grant building emergencies and System Administration weather closures.

CU System Administration follows CU Denver’s weather closure schedule, so weather closure and delay notifications issued for CU Denver also apply to System Administration employees.

Use the RAVE registration form to subscribe or unsubscribe and select the alerts you want to receive.
