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.

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

Offer letters mailed: Starting late February

Once you have submitted your completed FAFSA, you will receive an award letter in the mail and via your myUCCS Portal about two weeks after your submission date if you apply on/after March 1.

To review your awards, log in to your myUCCS Portal and select the Financial Aid tab at the top of the page. Select the Accept/Decline Awards tile to view your Financial Aid offer.
