History

On April 1, 1889, the governor of Colorado signed the bill creating the State Normal School to train qualified teachers for the state's public schools. Greeley citizens raised the necessary money for the first building, and the cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1890. The school opened its doors on October 6 with a staff of four instructors and 96 students.

Student services

The Office of Community Standards and Conflict Resolution develops and enforces standards of student conduct to promote a safe and respectful living and learning environment. In an effort to foster civility, empathy, and accountability, the student conduct process aims to serve as a learning experience that can result in growth and personal understanding of one’s responsibilities and privileges within both the university and the greater community. 

Housing services

Though many Extended Campus students do not need to visit our campus office in person, we do have a great staff in Greeley that you can visit if the need arises.

Library services

Our library contains books from Marcia Willcoxon's personal library and over 300 books and videos ranging in issues from feminism, women's literature, and women’s health care. 20% of the books in our center deal with issues of diversity and multiculturalism. A great resource for course related books and information for students doing term papers, speeches, presentations.

ICT services

The ITC is a University-wide advisory committee established to provide communication, collaboration and coordination on issues regarding information technology policy, planning, resource management, standards, procedures and priorities that will develop and enhance the effective use of information technology by faculty, staff and students.

Campus life

This community allows students of different genders to live together in the same room. The gender inclusive housing option is ideal for students whose gender identification and/or gender expression varies from the binary gender paradigm. It is also for students that are uncomfortable living with a roommate of the same biological sex.
