Complete overview of scholarships

Student services

The Office of Community Standards and Conflict Resolution develops and enforces standards of student conduct to promote a safe and respectful living and learning environment. In an effort to foster civility, empathy, and accountability, the student conduct process aims to serve as a learning experience that can result in growth and personal understanding of one’s responsibilities and privileges within both the university and the greater community. 

Housing services

Though many Extended Campus students do not need to visit our campus office in person, we do have a great staff in Greeley that you can visit if the need arises.

Library services

Our library contains books from Marcia Willcoxon's personal library and over 300 books and videos ranging in issues from feminism, women's literature, and women’s health care. 20% of the books in our center deal with issues of diversity and multiculturalism. A great resource for course related books and information for students doing term papers, speeches, presentations.

ICT services

The ITC is a University-wide advisory committee established to provide communication, collaboration and coordination on issues regarding information technology policy, planning, resource management, standards, procedures and priorities that will develop and enhance the effective use of information technology by faculty, staff and students.

Excellent public university

Being able to access a free university with this level of education and professionalism was one of the best experiences. Highly recommended. Just be patient with some programs that have many students and the classrooms may be full. And the campus: excellent!. It also offers free sports programs and competitive sports programs.

Great educational level, a bit outdated

The education received was great and high level, the evaluations were exhaustive and the professors were very capable people with an impressive academic background. But the program was a bit outdated, being mostly psychoanalysis oriented, while leaving other theoretical frameworks aside.
