The Fort Lupton campus began with the Prairie Building, which was recently renovated. The Prairie Building is where you'll find what your need to help you achieve your educational goals, including:

The Nurse Aide Certificate and BUENO HEP programs are also housed in the Prairie Building, which is where you will complete your general education classes.

Aims staff will welcome you and direct you where you need to go as well as answer any questions you have. This includes general questions about financial aid, FAFSA, testing, tuition, cashiering, B&N book orders, enrollment and advising. Fort Lupton staff can connect you with the necessary people and resources if needed. 

Fort Lupton has an on-site Pathway Advisor, Alejandra Gallardo, to help you navigate your education as you pursue your goals. Visit the Meet Your Advisor page to get in touch with your Pathway Advisor.
