Join Us for Homecoming and Family Weekend 2022!

All faculty, staff, and students are invited to celebrate Homecoming and Family Weekend, Friday, Oct. 7-Sunday, Oct. 9.

With more than 2,000 parents, families, alumni, and guests registered to attend HCFW, we know the energy and excitement will be felt across campus. So many guests will also likely mean parking congestion and more pedestrian traffic around campus throughout the weekend. Thanks in advance for your patience, and for welcoming parents, families, alumni, and guests back to campus for this CC tradition.
While some events require pre-registration and fees, there are many events the entire campus is invited to attend. Whether it’s attending one of the many athletic events, various lectures, or other activities listed below, we hope you’ll find a way to be part of the festivities throughout the weekend. You can view more details and the full schedule online. Below is a preview of some of the events open to the campus community during Homecoming and Family Weekend. In addition, we have lots of opportunities to help at events — if you’d like to volunteer, please email homecoming@coloradocollege.edu.

Hockey Season is Starting – Get Your Tickets!

Dear CC Students,

Hockey season is right around the corner, and we are thrilled to offer free tickets to full-time CC students.  This will be the second season at the incredible Ed Robson Arena, and we hope you pack the student section at the east end of the arena to show your Tiger Pride.

When will tickets be available?

The first home games are Friday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Oct. 8, when your Tigers host Alaska Anchorage.  Tickets for the games will be available starting on Monday, Oct. 3, at 8 a.m.
Student tickets will be available every home game week starting Mondays at 8 a.m. and ending Wednesdays at 1 p.m.

How many tickets are available?

Each full-time CC student has the opportunity to claim one free ticket for each home game. We have increased student tickets to over 400 for this season in the student sections per game. Tickets will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Because tickets are limited, we ask that if you do claim your ticket, you join us for the game.

How do you claim your tickets?

We have a fully automated process that is all handled on your smartphone. All full-time students now have a personalized Ticketmaster account. To access that account, all you need is your CC email address and your smartphone. 

Access your personal account through Ticketmaster:

  1. In your phone’s web browser, go to https://am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege.
  2. Click the sign-in icon at the top right and input your CC email address as your username. Unless you already have a Ticketmaster account with that email, click on “Forgot Password” and follow the steps to set up a new password. 
  3. Once you are logged in, click on “Students” in the top left menu or “Colorado College Students” at the bottom of the page. 
  4. You’ve now arrived at your personalized student account page where you can claim your game ticket.

Make sure you keep checking your account and follow the weekly countdowns that lead up to the opening of the window to claim your ticket(s).

Student Entrance at Ed Robson Arena:

CC Students have their own dedicated entrance at the corner of Cache La Poudre and Nevada. You will need your Gold Card as well as your game ticket on your phone to enter the arena. 

Student Section at Ed Robson Arena:

The student section at Robson Arena are the chairback seats in Sections 110 and 111, and the Standing Room Area at the top of Sections 110 and 111.
We also reserve a number of seats in Section 109, that are closest to Section 110, for CC students.  (We will mark the student section seats in Section 109).

These sections are on the east end of the Arena, so you will see the CC Tigers score for 2 periods, and you can make sure the opposing goalie enjoys his time at CC.

Doors open one-hour prior to puck drop.  For all games except Dec. 30-31, doors will open at 6:30 p.m. on Fridays and 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

If you want to sit near the glass, we recommend you arrive early.

Note:  During college breaks and block breaks, we reserve Section 110 for CC students.

Have fun, cheer loud, pack the student section, and GO TIGERS!

Timely Warning: Wanted Person Commiting Crimes Around Campus

Campus Safety has received information on a wanted person who has committed crimes in and around the campus community.

On September 29, 2022, just before 9 p.m., a person entered the private yard of an off-campus house wearing a winter ski mask. When Campus Safety arrived, the person fled on foot. The suspect has potentially been identified as Andrew Browning, a 33-year-old Caucasian male with very close shaved brown hair and brown eyes, and a large tattoo on his right forearm. Mr. Browning is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall. He was last known to drive a red Toyota Forerunner with a Colorado license plate. Mr. Browning currently has a felony warrant for his arrest.  
If you see Mr. Browning, do not approach him, call 911. Campus Safety has increased patrols in the area and is actively working with the Colorado Springs Police Department. In addition, extra duty police officers have been hired by the campus.

If you are a victim of any crime, please report it immediately. If you have any information regarding these recent crimes, please contact Campus Safety at (719) 389-6707, or CSPD non-emergency at (719) 444-7000, or make an anonymous report through Crime Stoppers at (719) 634-STOP (719) 634-7867.

We want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to take an active role in your safety and that of your community by:

  • Making sure all exterior doors and windows have working locks and locking your doors and windows.
  • Installing window chocks that limit how far a window can be opened.
  • Installing peep holes in doors so you know who is at the door before you open it.
  • Making your patio doors harder to break into by placing a pipe or metal bar in the middle bottom track of the door slide. The pipe and track should be the same length.
  • Installing motion-activated exterior lights.
This information is being released in compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Timely warnings are issued to provide information about a potentially dangerous situation at or near Colorado College and to provide our students and employees with the information necessary to make decisions or take appropriate actions to ensure their safety.
