Aims2UNC
Aims2UNC is an innovative partnership between Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado. When accepted to the Aims2UNC program students will be considered a student on both campuses, allowing for engagement at each campus including access to facilities (including UNC residence halls), events, clubs and organizations, in the way students find most meaningful. Our holistic approach is centered on developing a sense of community and belonging on both campuses, and providing streamlined advising to allow students to achieve the goal of earning a four-year degree from UNC. www.unco.edu/aims2unc/
