Linked below is the Checklist for Granting an Exception for Commercial Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS/Drone) Use.

This checklist is designed to provide a tool to facilitate the required risk/benefit analysis pursuant to Campus policy before a commercial drone operation can take place over the Downtown Denver or Anschutz Medical Campus. Ultimate approval for any drone flight over CU Anschutz property lies with the Executive Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Ultimate approval for any drone flight over the Downtown Denver Campus lies with the Executive Vice Chancellor of Administration and Strategy. Any flight that takes place without administrative approval will be deemed a violation of federal regulation and Campus policy, and those conducting the flight will be subject to sanctions at the discretion of Campus officials and will be promptly reported to Campus or local law enforcement, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regional Operation Center.
