It was not immediately clear where the robbery happened at CU Williams Village or what may have been stolen. 

It is also unclear what weapons were used in the incident.

An emergency alert was issued for the armed robbery, which the school says is done when "there is a confirmed immediate threat to the safety of those on campus, or near campus in areas of high student populations, or if there is a change to the university’s operating status due to weather, etc."

The University of Colorado Boulder has not immediately responded to a request from Fox News Digital for further comment. 

The last time University of Colorado Boulder issued an emergency alert was on Feb. 27 for a shooting in which a suspect was reported to be near other campus housing.
