Our Commitment to Student Success
The UCCS Campus Store is dedicated to ensuring students have access to the materials they need when they need them. Through TAAP we work to keep costs manageable while maintaining quality and convenience.
We are here to support students from their first class through graduation day and beyond.
A Campus Tradition
Located in the heart of campus, the UCCS Campus Store is more than a retail space — it’s a gathering place. It’s where new students pick up their first Mountain Lion sweatshirt, where families stock up on spirit wear, and where alumni reconnect with UCCS.
From spirit gear and gifts to technology and graduation regalia, we’re here for every milestone.
Our Mission
To serve and support the UCCS community by providing essential academic resources, quality merchandise, and a welcoming retail experience.
Our Vision
To grow alongside the UCCS community — championing student achievement, fostering school spirit, and building lifelong connections.
Ready to Show Your Mountain Lion Spirit?
Whether you’re heading to class, cheering on campus, or celebrating graduation, the UCCS Campus Store is here for you.
Every purchase strengthens our campus community — one textbook, one t-shirt, and one tradition at a time.
