Students mingle during the 2018 UCCS Welcome Week. This year, students will wear face coverings and maintain social distancing during activities such as the pre-semester Gateway Days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UCCS\nGateway Program Seminar (GPS) is prepared to help new students feel right at\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gateway Days are immersive experiences designed to provide incoming\nfirst-year students at UCCS with access to classes, resources and activities at\nUCCS before the official start of the fall semester. They are paired with the\nthree- and four-credit GPS courses, which are required for first-years and\nintroduce students to college-level coursework and expectations. Together, the\nprograms are designed to help first-year students transition to UCCS.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember how formative and grounding my experience with Gateway Days was last year,\u201d said Ryan Maikell, a junior studying professional communication with a strategic emphasis. \u201cIt was an amazing experience where I felt connected to campus and my instructors, and found new friends. I am so excited that this year\u2019s incoming students are still able to experience this same connection to campus and life as a Mountain Lion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gateway Days will take place Thursday, Aug. 20 and Friday,\nAug. 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students in HyFlex GPS courses will be assigned to attend\neither the Thursday or Friday program on campus. Face coverings will be\nprovided, and in-person activities will be conducted with public health\nguidance protocols in place. Students in remote synchronous or asynchronous GPS\ncourses will attend an online version of the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
