MILITARY PROGRAMS & SUPPORT
UCCS HAS THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO TRANSITION FROM SERVICE TO SCHOOL.
Our community of veterans, both students and faculty, understand the challenges individuals and families face when transitioning from service to school. Because they’ve been there. With our Student Veteran Center employees and student military programs such as Books for Battle Buddies, we give you the tools you need to succeed at UCCS and beyond. You're also able to take advantage of facilities designed to propel you forward, such as our McCord-Herbst Student Veteran Center, the Gallogly Recreation and Wellness Center and so much more.
Our programs and services support you while you’re in school and after. Purchase reduced-cost textbooks, get guidance and mentorship to better understand work environments, connect with peers through the Student Veteran Organization and find comprehensive health care through our Wellness Center and Veterans Health and Trauma Clinic.

STUDENTS SHINE AT UCCS
“I knew I wanted to do something more than I was doing, but I was nervous. I knew UCCS was a pretty great school. They fostered an environment of openness, which allowed me to dive deeper into my field of study. I learned at UCCS what it means to be a public servant.”
