Admitted Student Next Steps

Spring Registration Opens: October 1

Fall and Summer Registration Opens: March 1

New students are required to attend orientation before their first semester. Orientation is a one-hour appointment offered either online or in-person. During orientation, you will begin enrolling in classes. The earlier date you attend, the better selection of classes you will have.

For questions: Contact the Orientation Office at orientation@uccs.edu or (719) 255-3098

After you get accepted, allow 1-2 business days for IT to create your account before claiming it. You will need to claim your account to access your myUCCS portal and apply for scholarships, check your holds and to-do list items, and register for classes.

1. Locate your Student ID number, which is included in your acceptance letter. If you don't know your Student ID, contact Admissions at go@uccs.edu or (719) 255-3084.
2. Select "Claim Your Account" below to start the account creation process. Follow the instructions to retrieve your UCCS username and set your password.

For questions: Contact the IT Service Desk at (719) 255-4357

Authorize the College Opportunity Fund for Colorado Residents

The College Opportunity Fund (COF) pays a portion of total in-state tuition for eligible Colorado residents.

• When you enroll in your classes at orientation, you will authorize your COF stipend to be paid to UCCS.
• You have the option of authorizing COF each semester when you enroll in classes, or you may choose the Lifetime Authorization (you only authorize once, that authorization stays in effect until you change it).
• If you do not apply for and authorize COF, you will pay full tuition.

For questions about authorizing COF, please contact the Bursar Office at (719) 255-3391

Housing Application Opens: December 1
Priority Submission Date: March 15

To increase your chances of getting your preferred room type, submit your housing application before the priority submission date. You will need your UCCS username and password to submit the application (see Claim Your Account step if you do not have yours). 

Applying to housing does not commit you to attending UCCS. A $600 deposit is required but $500 is refundable if cancelled by May 31st (fall applicants) or December 1st (spring applicants).
