Whether you’re a freshman starting your first year at college, or a transfer student coming from another university, there’s a lot to learn about resources you can use on campus.
UCCS offers free student resources ranging from food assistance to accessible entertainment.
Clyde’s Cupboard
Housed in UC 102, Clyde’s Cupboard is 100% donation-based food pantry that aids enrolled UCCS students. Clyde’s Cupboard helps students keep school a priority by addressing food insecurity, providing each student with up to eight items per week.
Clyde’s Cupboard also has Fresh Food Fridays, where they stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables for students to take home.
Clyde’s is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you’re interested in retrieving or donating food to Clyde’s Cupboard, contact Sam Luckiw at [email protected].
Clyde’s Closet
Clyde’s Closet provides students with high quality clothing for professional success during or after your educational journey. Each semester, students can take six articles of clothing from their location in the Career Center.
If you’re interested in using or donating to Clyde’s Closet, please contact [email protected].
Laptop program
Keeping up with the costs incurred during your educational career is often daunting, especially when your laptop decides to quit on you, or if you have never had one before.
If you need a laptop that you need to take on the go, UCCS allows you to apply for a free Chromebook rental that you can use all year long, including summer semesters. The only caveat is that the rental process is first come first serve, so make sure to submit your application soon. If you have any further questions about the Chromebook program, contact [email protected].
