Campus Life

The Campus Life Office coordinates the Campus Center, Recreation and Sports Programs, Student Activities, Student Clubs and Organizations, Student Leadership Development, Multicultural and Special Events, Health and Wellness Programs, the Graduation Program, the Child Development Centers, and much more.

Student groups who wish to plan activities and events can receive assistance here.

We are also able to advise you on ideas, details, planning, and implementation of events.

The Grove, Room A-207, “see and be seen” gathering spot on campus. It features wi-fi, pool tables, comfortable furniture, plasma big screen TV, art, and more. Check out the recliners for a quick nap between classes. Pull up to the window counter with your laptop and log on. Gather around a large table for a quick bite or study group. Listen to the PPCC radio station, KEPC. Meet students, find friends, hang out. It’s so great, we actually have to remind you to go to class!

So what’s up with that name? It’s true, an aspen grove is a lovely place to gather. But it’s more than that. An aspen grove is the largest living interconnected organism in the world. Its defining characteristics are longevity, a hardy nature and interconnectedness. The Grove in the Campus Center is so named, first, because of its location in the Aspen Building, but more so because it reflects the Campus Life mission of building community by focusing on the interconnectedness of the campus community.

The Playground, outdoors off the Grove. This is an outdoor gathering spot on campus. It features picnic tables, goofy orange chairs that you can move around to form cluster seating, KEPC piped in Wifi, and shade sails. In summer and fine weather during fall and spring, food service fires up the grill and it becomes the best place on campus to find a hot meal deal.

Student ID Cards

Every PPCC student needs a photo Student Identification Card. A properly validated Student ID enables you to use the Library, the computer lab, or other services. It also entitles you to free or reduced admission to student plays, dances, and other activities.

Obtain a Student ID your first semester at PPCC in the Campus Center at either Centennial Campus, Downtown Studio Campus, or Rampart Range Campus. This ID is good for your entire student career at Pikes Peak Community College. If your ID is lost, stolen or mutilated you may obtain a replacement ID for $10. Proof of identification is required for all new and replacement IDs. (i.e. driver’s license, photo ID, military ID, etc.).

Other Photo IDs

The Campus Life Office will also produce special ID’s for nursing practicum students, Fitness Center members, etc. upon special arrangement. Cost is $5.00 per ID, per semester.
