The Dean's List

Hello Mountain Lions,

Welcome to UCCS! Whether you are beginning your college journey or preparing for graduation, the Office of the Dean of Students is here to help you navigate challenges, build connections, and make the most of your experience.

Our motto, Support, Educate, Empower, guides our work and our commitment to you.

We support you as you navigate college life. When questions arise or circumstances become difficult, we can help you explore your options and connect with campus resources. You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

We educate by helping you learn through your experiences, understand your responsibilities as a member of our community, and consider how your choices affect yourself and others. Learning happens throughout your time at UCCS, both in and beyond the classroom.

We empower you to advocate for yourself, make informed decisions, and take an active role in shaping your college experience. Your interests and goals are your own, and we are here to help you move forward with confidence.

Part of that experience is finding where you belong. To help you explore, we created The Dean’s List: 65 things to do during your time at UCCS, honoring the university’s founding in 1965. From campus traditions to experiences around Colorado Springs, the list offers ways to meet people, discover new interests, and serve your community. Use it as inspiration to try something new at your own pace.

I am glad you are part of UCCS. I encourage you to get involved, ask for help when you need it, and help make this a community where every Mountain Lion feels welcome.
