On-Campus Housing for Graduate and Extended Campus Summer Programs

UNC's Housing and Residential Education is excited to welcome you to campus for your coursework this summer.

Living on Campus

• Living Arrangements

  In South Hall and North Hall, most rooms are four-person suites with two double bedrooms. Limited options for singles rooms within a suite or designated single rooms for an additional charge may be available. We also offer the option to “buy out” a room at an additional charge; this would allow a double-occupancy bedroom to just have one person in it.

  If you are looking to rent a MicroChill for your time during your time you are here please click below. Note: make sure you choose the Summer 2024 option, that will be updated closer to the summer.

  Rent a MicroChill

• Check In

  You will check in at The Ridge Neighborhood front desk, located at South Hall. We have scheduled most check-ins one day prior to the start of the academic program (generally on a weekend). Please contact our office and indicate on your application if you will need to change your arrival date; additional days may incur additional charges. Upon check-in you will receive a room inventory to fill out for the space you are assigned to. Once completed you will turn the inventory back in to the front desk.

• Front Desk

  Cleaning supplies, package pick-up and keys to music rooms (if available) are just a few of the services available to you at the front desk.

• Cleaning Supplies

  You can check out cleaning supplies such as a vacuum, broom, all-purpose cleaner and glass cleaner from the Ridge Neighborhood Front Desk in South Hall.

• Room Repairs

  Submit a Work Request with as much detail as you can provide through UNC's TMA iService Desk and use your BearMail for updates.

  Note: You need to be connected to UNC Wired or Wireless Internet to Submit.

  Need help with something in your room that's not working right? You can contact the Ridge Front Desk at 970-351-2752.

• Mail

  To send mail via USPS, UPS, FedEx or other provider, please use our guidelines to ensure your mailing arrives in a timely manner. Please do NOT put “UNC” or “University of Northern Colorado” on any of the mail. This will redirect the mail to the UNC general mail room for faculty, staff and department mail

• Information Technology

  Wireless and wired connections are provided in student bedrooms. For devices that have a wired network connection, an ethernet cable is always advised for the most reliable and fastest connections. Submit an online ticket for assistance or call Information Management & Technology at 970-351-4357 (970-351-HELP).

  • Wired: Internet-connected game stations, Smart TVs, DVD/Blue Ray Players, Apple TVs, Roku devices, etc. can generally be connected to the UNC network through a wired connection after being enabled by Information Management & Technology. 
  • Wireless: Connect to Wi-Fi by searching for available networks and select UNC-STUDENT. The password is UNCStudent (case sensitive). Your username and password are your UNC student (Ursa) log-in and password.
• Bear Print

  We encourage students not to bring a printer and instead take advantage of the Bear Print stations. Students who bring a printer should purchase a wired printer to be connected directly to a computer by USB cable rather than a wireless one.

• Dining

  Dining is available at Holmes Dining Hall, located on West Campus. For additional questions about dining, please see UNC Dining Services.

• Check Out

  Students will need to check out with a staff member. You will need to roughly estimate a total of an hour to schedule and execute a check out. Please plan your check-out accordingly.

• HRE Handbook

  For more information about living on campus, check out the HRE Handbook.

What to Bring

Getting to Campus and Parking

Flying

If you are flying to Denver, you will want to fly into Denver International Airport (DIA). Greeley is about an hour northeast of DIA. You are responsible for your own transportation to get to the UNC Campus. Shuttle service from DIA to the UNC Campus in Greeley is available through several companies. All transportation services are located on Level 5 outside the main terminal of DIA. Most shuttles offer door-to-door service to the residence halls, upon request. Reservations are required for shuttles, and you will want to specify that your drop-off location will be South Hall on the UNC Campus. You should make reservations ahead of time and use reservation zip code 80639.

Driving

Directions, campus maps and virtual tours can be found on the UNC Campus Map.

Parking

All parking areas on the UNC Campus require an official UNC parking permit. Student permits are available for purchase with Parking Services. Once purchased, the cost of the permit will be applied to your student bill. After you place the order for your permit, a temporary permit will be emailed to you. Please display this temporary permit until your permanent permit arrives in the mail. If your permit does not arrive within three weeks, please contact parkingservices@unco.edu. Please view this parking map, which shows the proximity of I and J lots to South Hall and North Hall.
