What We Do

Case Managers assist with communication and referrals by connecting students with support services for their success.

The University of Northern Colorado Student Outreach and Case Management (SOCM) office fosters student development, engagement, and success by assisting students during difficult circumstances which may include medical, mental health, personal or family crisis, and illness or injury.

Case Managers in SOCM coordinate with referral sources and make appropriate referrals and provide follow-up to address the unique needs of each student. SOCM focuses on reducing the impact of an incident or behavior on the student, faculty, staff, and UNC community.

Frequent Referrals

Information Sharing

Authorizing Release of Information 

UNC students working with case managers in the Dean of Students Office have the opportunity to authorize the release of information to specified parties of their choosing. In some limited circumstances, including emergencies as described below, UNC may share students’ information without a Release of Information on file.

Emergency Contact 

UNC students should regularly review and update their emergency contact information in Ursa. Emergency contact information is necessary to contact someone of your choice on your behalf in case of an emergency. UNC may use this information when students are personally involved in a health or safety emergency, such as emergency medical transports and/or hospitalizations. 

Academic Appeals 

Although the Dean of Students Office is not directly involved with academic appeals, case managers know students often have questions about how to navigate the process.

Support Offices

Bear Pantry

Students and employees who are having trouble accessing the food they need are able to visit the Bear Pantry (located on the lower level of the University Center in Greeley) once per week and can choose up to seven food or non-food items at no cost.

Counseling Center

The UNC Counseling Center Staff are licensed mental health professionals or supervised by licensed mental health professionals.  We are a team of caring and committed staff with experience in helping students.

Disability Resource Center

We work together with the entire campus community to eliminate barriers, increase accessibility, and foster inclusive environments through education, resources, and personalized support.

Parking Services

Parking Services manages all aspects of campus parking at the University of Northern Colorado. We handle the sale and distribution of parking permits, maintain parking lots and signage, enforce parking regulations, and provide support to students, employees, and visitors to ensure safe and accessible transportation across campus.

Police Department

UNC Police Department’s number one priority is to provide a safe and secure environment to learn and work in. Our officers are on foot, bicycle and vehicle patrols 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
