Housing + Transportation

Housing

We have plenty of options when it comes to student housing. And since we don't require students to live in a particular housing facility, the choice is yours.

If you'd like information about nearby apartments, talk with your New Student Guide or download the Housing Booklet below.

Cars on Campus

Colorado is a big place. While a car is not absolutely necessary, access to a car will help you take advantage of all the recreational and cultural opportunities available in the city and region.

All students are welcome to have their cars on campus. Parking is ample and free. Check in at the Campus Resource Center in the Texas Building during the first week of class to get your parking sticker.

Many students without cars (or those who choose not to drive for environmental reasons) often have friends with cars, and carpooling or ride sharing is very common.

Public Transportation: RTD

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) provides public transportation in and around Denver. RTD provides access to:

  • local and regional bus service
  • light rail
  • “Park & Ride” shuttle service to Denver International Airport

There's an RTD bus stop one block from campus on the corner of Colfax and Pierce.

RMCAD-Regency Direct Transportation Service

For the 2011-2012 academic year, RMCAD operates an optional direct-to-campus transportation shuttle. This shuttle runs between campus and The Regency several times a day. The schedule is updated each semester to coordinate with the class schedule of those riding.

Availability is limited, so students interested in signing up for this service should complete the RMCAD-Regency Direct Transportation Service Agreement and return it to David Bourassa, Director of Student Life. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the Direct Transportation Service fee is $250 per term.

Regency to Auraria Shuttle

Students living at The Regency can take advantage of the free shuttle bus that goes between The Regency and the downtown Denver Auraria campus. From there, students can take RTD public transportation to a bus stop just outside campus.

This shuttle bus is operated by The Regency and runs regularly Monday through Friday during the day. This service allows easy access to all of the amenities in downtown Denver including the CU-Denver library.
