Dining
At UCCS, students living in first-year housing have a meal plan included in their room and board costs. Our meal plans offer flexibility and convenience, providing students with nutritious and delicious dining options across multiple campus locations. Whether you prefer an all-you-care-to-eat or a made-to-order meal, we have multiple options to ensure you have meal options for any schedule.
Parking
All on-campus housing comes with a parking pass for one car at a time to park in the Alpine Garage, conveniently located across from the Village at Alpine Valley. Our virtual permit system reduces clutter and simplifies the process, ensuring you always have easy access to parking without the need for physical passes. Just remember to register your license plate to avoid a parking ticket.
