Welcome to the Community of Bears!

Welcome to the University of Northern Colorado! Whether you are an incoming first-year student, transfer, or returning student, we are extremely excited that you are part of the UNC community. We have many resources available to you, either remotely or in person, and we hope you will take advantage of the many services we offer when you need them.

Involvement on campus is key to enhancing your time at UNC, as it introduces you to campus life and UNC’s culture, spirit, and traditions.

We are here to help you realize you are a valuable part of the Bear community (Office of Student Engagement). Support on campus (Division of Student Academic Success) is vital to your success, and we in Student Affairs & Enrollment Services can support both your academic and personal success. Living on Campus (On-Campus Housing) can enrich your campus experience in immeasurable ways. Student Housing and Residential Education offer all students a positive living and learning environment. Your health and well-being (Outreach & Support) is one of our top priorities. Whether you need physical, mental, or spiritual support, we can help you.

We are thrilled to have you with us and look forward to supporting you throughout your journey at UNC. Go Bears!
