RESIDENTIAL CREATIVE COMMUNITY
City Heights is home to the CAM Residential Creative Community (RCC), a special residential experience for College
of Arts & Media (CAM)
students to live in a supportive environment of artists, filmmakers,
musicians, and scholars.
CAM RCC members have distinct academic and co-curricular
experiences to connect with the arts and creative industries. The CAM RCC
communal spaces are designed and equipped to foster making, creativity,
and collaboration amongst peers and classmates. Students may opt-in to participate in the RCC.

- Socializing and networking with other RCC students.
- A CAM faculty mentor.
- Access to a CAM music room at City Heights.
- A monthly CAM RCC newsletter highlighting arts events on and near campus.

How to Apply to the CAM RCC for Fall 2024
Incoming CAM freshman for Fall 2024 should first accept their CU Denver admission in their application portal. They can then apply to CU Denver Housing. We will then send an email out to all incoming Fall 2024 CAM students with a City Heights housing contract on file sometime in May 2024 inviting them to be in the CAM RCC. Students can also fill out the CAM RCC application form here.
Any student who has a City Heights Housing contract for the 2024-25 academic year and completes the CAM RCC application will be admitted to the RCC. Be sure to check your email regularly for information from CU Denver Housing & Dining Services and the College of Arts & Media.
The First-Year Experience
First-Year Experience (FYE) courses are designed to ease students transition to university life and guide them into this world of social, academic, and professional possibilities. Members of CAM RCC are strongly encouraged to register for one of the CAM UNIV 1110 classes. The CAM UNIV 1100 courses are tailored to the unique experience of art, film, and music students. The CAM-UNIV is a required, one-credit course for all RCC members. This is a tuition free first semester course!
