Student Outreach & Support

Our Mission

Student Outreach & Support (SOS) helps students succeed by connecting them to resources, developing a plan of action to meet their goals, and navigating challenging situations. The SOS staff creates an inclusive and welcoming environment for students to develop skills in self-awareness, self-advocacy, resilience, and navigation to maximize their educational experience.

If you or a student you know is in need of support, submit an SOS referral and we will reach out within 24–48 business hours to share information about SOS and introduce students to their SOS Student Support Advisor.

SOS Is Not for Emergencies

Dial 9-1-1 in Case of Emergency

For emergencies, immediately dial 9-1-1 and then Campus Safety at 303-871-3000. If dialing from a campus phone, press 1-3000 for Campus Safety.

Emergencies include any immediate risk to life, health or property.

Support Resources

For Students

When you submit an SOS Referral, whether it's for you or someone you know, you make our community stronger. If you're having a challenge yourself, let us answer your questions that may include more information about temporary financial assistance, medical leave, health & food needs, or coping with loss.

Types of Student Support

For Faculty & Staff

If you're a faculty or staff member who knows of a student who may need support, please contact us as soon as possible. We at Student Outreach & Support also want to help you navigate the Referral Flow Chart. If you're interested in learning how to identify students in need or need assistance in submitting a referral, please reach out to us, as well.
