Housing Amenities
Utilities: Water, electricity, heating, and internet are included! There is no air conditioning in any of the buildings.
Laundry Facilities: These are located on the first floors of Keystone House, La Plata House, and Crestone House and are open 24/7. Laundry machines are free, but residents must provide their own detergent. You can use the LaundryView app to see if there are available machines.
Floor lounges are located in some of the residence halls in both villages. Each lounge is equipped with chairs and couches for resident use. The lounges are open 24/7.
Dining
At UCCS, students living in residence halls are required to have a meal plan; those living in apartments are not required to have one. 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 options to suit 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.
Campus Shuttle/ Mountain Metro
The UCCS shuttle bus provides convenient transportation across campus, making it easy for students to reach classes, dining, and other campus destinations. Students also receive access to the Mountain Metro Transit system, allowing them to explore Colorado Springs using local bus routes. Together, these transportation options make getting around campus and the city simple—no car required.
