Glenwood Springs and Carbondale Housing

The CMC Spring Valley campus is less than 10 miles from CMC Glenwood Springs and CMC Carbondale. This is a popular option among traditional aged students in the area.

Visit CMC Residence Halls for complete information: room layouts, costs, meal plans, and much more.

There is a free shuttle connecting all three of these locations.

On-campus housing goes fast! Avoid the wait-list by securing your spot when you submit your housing application.

If you’re under 21 years old, you may be required to live on the Spring Valley campus even if attending nearby CMC Glenwood Springs or CMC Carbondale. See Section II of the housing agreement for details. If you’re under 21 years old, request approval to live off-campus by filling out the exemption form and wait for approval prior to signing a lease.

For on-campus housing, you can request a specific roommate on your housing application. If you don’t select a specific roommate by the middle of July (for Fall move-in), we’ll pair you with one based on a number of answers you provide on the housing application. You may also have the opportunity to choose a roommate at orientation.

If you’re living on-campus, you’ll probably have a roommate since singles are rarely available at CMC Spring Valley.

Depending on your income and other factors, you may qualify for the Garfield County Rental Assistance Program if living off-campus.

At the link above you’ll find a document “Payment Standard & Utility Allowance” showing the current income levels for qualification, and another “Pre-Application” document. There is a wait-list for this assistance, so the sooner you apply the better.

For any questions regarding this program call the Garfield County Housing Authority at 970-625-3589.
