• Please access updates from Teaching and Learning Excellence. As a reminder, we will keep this site active with new and helpful information.

• A reminder that the Provost has open office hours each Monday, 9-10 a.m. and Thursday, 2-3 p.m. at the main campus, and Thursdays, 5-6 p.m. at the Thornton campus. If those times are not convenient, please reach out to set up a time to connect.

• The Provost Advisory Council recently met and discussed the status of work-study. We are still collecting data, but we can report that federal work-study awards have not decreased, but this fall we are seeing fewer jobs available. With that said, we have unfilled jobs, so it is not clear that there are insufficient opportunities for students. The Academic and Student Affairs leadership will continue monitoring this issue.

• For continued updates about implications of federal decisions on financial aid, please consult "Big Beautiful Bill" and Financial Aid Updates | Regis University.

• Faculty and staff who teach, advise, or otherwise work directly with undergraduate students at Regis University are invited to apply to participate in a four-day learning community in May 2026 (with a one-day follow-up in August, and two short gatherings per semester). This learning community will support faculty and staff as they deepen their understanding of vocational exploration and discernment and become better equipped to support students as they seek out meaningful work in their lives and become workplace-ready – all in the context of HSI servingness, community-engagement, and equitable high-impact experiential learning practices. Apply here by Jan. 23.
