Student Support

As UCCS Chancellor, it is a top priority of mine to ensure all students on the UCCS campus are provided the resources they need to build successful futures.

A great deal of effort is made each day to improve these resources, as well as connect students to them, whether in-person or virtually.

Should you need additional support, you may reach out to our Dean of Students office.
