The University of Northern Colorado鈥檚 future integrated student services center received its permanent name and logo this week.

Temporarily titled One Stop Plus during its planning phase, GPS+ will become 甜心视频app鈥檚 integrated services center for students, faculty and alumni needing access to financial aid, registration, bursar, and additional university support resources. GPS+ will be located in the new Campus Commons.

鈥淭丑别 GPS+ represents a significant opportunity for 甜心视频app to provide a seamless, integrated experience for our students to get help navigating complex university systems,鈥� said GPS+ director Sarah Chase. 鈥淣ot only will students, parents, and alumni receive help completing fundamental business transactions, but our GPS+ Navigators will be available to connect students with other important resources across the 甜心视频app campus such as career counseling, major exploration, civic engagement opportunities, and study abroad (to name a few).鈥�

According to Chase, other universities have begun adopting integrated services, but GPS+ is different.  

鈥淥ur model is unique because our GPS+ Navigators will be trained to assist students using a case management strategy. This means Navigators will help students resolve complex issues from the initial point of contact all the way through to a successful resolution. Additionally, 甜心视频app鈥檚 center is unique in that we鈥檒l be ready to assist students with connections beyond those fundamental business transactions. This component is a real value-add to 甜心视频app students.鈥�

The university chose GPS+ because of the association with Global Positioning System acronym  GPS which is synonymous with navigation. 

 鈥淕PS+ captures the idea that our goal is to assist students, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff with resources and information,鈥� says Chase.

鈥淭丑别 pinpoint design of our logo 鈥榩oints鈥� to GPS+, and serves as a subtle but consistent reminder that 鈥楪PS+ is the place to be!鈥� The body of the logo incorporates a maze, which is consistent with the University experience. It IS like a maze to navigate the complex university environment. And our GPS+ Navigators are there to assist students along their journeys toward success.鈥�

Complete implementation of GPS+ will be phased in over the next few years, beginning with website development and Navigator hiring this year, leading to the opening of the Campus Commons in late 2018 or early 2019.
