Parking Permits

Fall Permits go on sale August 5th, 2025. Parking Enforcement resumes Monday, August 25th at 8am, the first day of classes. All parking lots on campus require either a permit or hourly payment. Employees are allowed up to 3 vehicles on a permit. You may change these vehicles out at any time through the parking portal. Only one vehicle listed may be parked on campus at any given time.

We also run shuttle bus routes to connect periphery areas to the main campus, off-campus charters, motor pool vehicle rentals for University related business, and fleet management of University owned vehicles.

We were founded in 1965

"From 1965 to 1972, the “Colorado Spring Center” operated as a division of the CU Boulder campus. That all changed, however, in 1974. During this year, UCCS was recognized as a distinct Colorado university campus, along with the two Denver campuses."
