I’m new to Colorado Springs what’s the “freshman bar”

- Do you feel disconnected and isolated and want to become connected with your local communities?

- Are you interested in strengthening our communities resilience to economic pressures?

- Do you feel that the government is ineffective, doesn’t listen to its citizens, and want to know why?

- Do you think that we should have more say in the workplaces? That the bosses are taking advantage of our need for a paycheck?

- Do you think that we should all have access to the basic aspects to live a good life?

- Do you think that our natural environment is being severely harmed and want to work towards bettering it?

If so, join us as we discuss the causes of these issues, explore solutions, and build networks with one another to overcome these issues from a Libertarian Socialist/Anarchist lens.

We currently meet bi-weekly, first meeting is Sept 7th, in COS East Library from 6pm to 7pm. For anyone unfamiliar with anarchism, we recommend reading Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You! by David Graeber prior to the meeting. At the meeting, we will be reading the work You May Already Be An Anarchist by The Slow Burning Fuse as well as determining the content of the subsequent meetings. Links to the texts are provided below.

I just committed to UCCS I am a low income student and UCCS saved me loads of money in terms of Yk wanting to pursue med school in the future. I ask for not completely negative things about the campus but honesty about professors and the environment. I’m the first in my family to even go to college and honestly from how terrible the education is in Louisiana UCCS can’t be as bad as I’ve heard.

Hello, I was recently accepted at UCCS for the spring semester as an undergrad moving with my family to Fort Carson on PCS orders. As I currently don't have a car and would like to commute and stay at home (reduce the amount of debt lol) I am wondering if anyone else found a way to commute to UCCS and back. I know a little about Carson Connector & Mountain Metro but I would like advice from people who have done this before.

I have a class at the ent center that ends at 1:30. At 1:40, I have a class at columbine hall. I only have the 500 lot pass for parking and I was banking on the shuttle system, but it’s going to be a close call. Assuming I’m not able to work something out with leaving the first class 5 minutes early, would it be possible for me to get out of class at 1:30, get on the shuttle at eagle rock, and get off at the lodge stop for columbine hall before 1:40?

I also tried biking from the ent center bike racks to the ones outside columbine hall this morning, and it’s about a 10 minute bike ride up. However, that won’t work pretty much any time after mid october, and I’d also rather not be sweaty and panting coming into a 3 hour class lol

Hey all, just wondering what the DNP program looks like? Are there clinicals or SIM labs? What does doing the DNP feel project like? Etc.

I’m planning to do PMHNP.

Has anyone else received their financial aid yet? Kind of weird that class begins in a week and nothing has been sent out yet to my knowledge… starting to panic a bit since more supplies still need to be bought before the beginning of term 🙃😅

is the colorado student grant only given to some students or all eligible students? like has anyone gotten it yet???

Did everyone receive their financial Aid Disbursements/Refunds?

Hi everyone!

I’m from Oklahoma, and I’m highly considering relocating to UCCS for my Masters after I graduate here in December. I’ve been traveling to CO since I was a kid and I’ve always wanted to live here. I find myself so much happier and fulfilled while visiting, I also have some family in Denver.

One, is anyone here attending and/or would recommend the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters Program?
Two, where do you live if you go to UCCS? Money is definitely a considerable factor and I also wouldn’t mind a 20-30 minute commute to school. I’m not picky, and I’m trying to get a good idea of rent prices as well as cost of living. Oklahoma’s cost of living is significantly less, so saving is going to be a big deal, and I’m trying to find the best place for affordability.

Any other advice?
Thanks!!

trumps bill may actually prevent me from finishing college. I believe I’m only eligible for 2000 more from fafsa and I have 39 more credit hours to go for a bachelors. additional grants aren’t a guarantee and my credit is bad enough i may not be eligible for private loans without a co-signer. from what I understood when this bill was announced the lifetime cap was 100,000 but this is for graduates, the cap for undergraduates is 57,000.

I have been researching all day and I think I finally found a program I like. Does anyone know about the UCCS MSN FNP program? Anyone have pros or cons or likes or dislikes? I am in a specific situation, for my husband is active duty, and we are currently stationed in Great Falls, Montana. He plans to transfer the G.I. bill to me so I would be utilizing that. I would need a fully online program, I am OK with having to fly maybe like once or twice in the beginning but I do not want to have to fly to the campus often. Like I would need a fully online program. Anyone have any other good suggestions for my certain situation? I also have to be able to prepare to move states if we get orders while I am in a program. I am also a mom so I would love to have a lot of guidance on clinical placements and not have to stress about that myself!

Anyone in here in MAE and have taken Hui Wan as their professor? He is teaching fluids I have never been in this dude's class before wondering how he is.

Hey, I am very anxious in taking this course as I have trouble in biology, ANY advice yall could give me?

My son attended UCCS and graduated in 2023. Randomly, I received an invoice today for Housing, Spring semester, 2020. It was a real bill, to me since I was the authorized payer. I logged into the real payment site, saw this as a new invoice, and saw all my old invoices. So, not some scam site.

I found the payment notice for Spring 2020, and the housing fee was the same as this new invoice. And, I found a credit later that year for a partial semester of housing, since they sent everyone home due to Covid.

I have sent a question to the Bursar, waiting a response, but wondered if this was widespread or just me.

Edit: Apparently, there were multiple issues with old invoices, students who already graduated, and for legit current-student invoices with the wrong due date.

Hi! My situation is a little complicated, and I’m hoping any of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I’ve lived in Colorado for almost two years and have established multiple ties to the state, but I still haven’t been able to obtain Colorado residency at UCCS. I’ve continued to be classified as a nonresident.
What makes it even more confusing is that I took summer classes at Pueblo Community College this year, and they automatically classified me as a Colorado resident. Because of that, I’m struggling to understand why UCCS continues to deny my residency.
At this point, I’m not even sure who the right person is to contact because I haven’t been able to get much guidance from the uccs offices I’ve spoken with. It’s been a really frustrating process, and I’d appreciate any advice or direction any of you can offer…
This has caused lots of financial burden as uccs ain’t cheap.

Hi! I have anatomy in the fall. My lab class is on a family members wedding day. I don't want to miss it. I know anatomy is super important and I was looking at other labs that would fit my schedule, but this is the only one.

Do the instructors typically allow one missed lab? Or make up labs? Or could I attend another lab during the week to make up for it? I know it's unlikely, and that anatomy is super important. I just wish I could make both work.

This event is in the beginning of September. So right when school starts too. Obviously, I will talk to the proffesor ASAP when the semester starts. I just have to pay for a hotel in advance for the wedding and I'm worried about waiting too long and having to pay more if it's outside of their reserved hotel rooms.

When ever I see someone who has an actual grievance on their post at UCCS it gets downvoted. Is this just a page to make it seem like everything is peaches and cream at this school?

Just curious if anyone else is going to have to drop classes or reduce their course load due to the current economic situation

Does anybody know about the Rad Tech program at UCCS, how the pre reqs or just any advice yall can give me!

Thanks you!!

Hello!! I just finished orientation and went to the financial aid office who let me know that my full Pell grant would get split in two and only cover half (tuition estimated 7.3k/semester so FAFSA would cover only 3.6k/semester). However when I went to pikes peak the tuition was ~3.2k and I would get back the rest of the Pell grant ~3.6k, each semester. Was the financial office wrong? Anyone else get the full Pell grant (my SAI is -1500) and they still have to pay? Please help!
