The new Pikes Peak State College name change and brand is officially launching on August 29, the first day of the fall semester. However, some materials are available now for preview and to purchase swag items in time for the start of school.
Note: As we make this transition over the next year, you may see the college referred
to as either Pikes Peak State College or Pikes Peak Community College.
