Welcome to a Campus Where Everyone Belongs

Our students thrive in a learning environment characterized by the Jesuit traditions of mutual respect and pursuing justice. Respecting our human differences, whether physical or philosophical, is what the Community for Belonging (CoBe) at Regis University is about. We celebrate the richness that comes from the diverse backgrounds, identities and life experiences of our students. A learning community that embraces diverse thoughts and ideas benefits all its members.

We invite you to explore the many ways Regis fosters a culture where everyone can belong, thrive, and grow. From student-led organizations and cultural events, to dedicated support services and inclusive spaces, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels seen, heard and empowered. As you begin your journey with us, know that you are not alone — this is a place where connection, understanding and transformation happen every day. Welcome to a community where you belong.

Finding Strength in Our Differences

The discovery and discussion of different viewpoints is what makes a university unique. In response to civil rights leader John Lewis’ urging that we need to "get in good trouble, necessary trouble and redeem the soul of America," Regis hosts our annual Good Trouble Conversations series that explores how we can answer Lewis’ call.

Higher Access, Higher Earnings

Regis has been recognized under the new 2025 Carnegie Classification as a “Higher Access, Higher Earnings” institution — part of the newly established Opportunity Colleges and Universities category. This distinction highlights our commitment to enrolling students from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as those who are Pell-eligible, and affirms that Regis students go on to earn more than their peers nationally, regardless of whether they complete their degree.

Regis is a Hispanic-Serving Institution

In 2023, Regis University earned official designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), a federal distinction shared by just over 10 percent of all colleges and universities in the U.S. HSI designation denotes that Regis’ student enrollment is more than 25 percent Hispanic and affirms our commitment to serve, support and celebrate our diverse student body.

The present moment offers a precious opportunity to guide and govern the processes now under way, and to build inclusive societies based on respect for human dignity, tolerance, compassion and mercy.
