Au Pair Program

Currently, there are no UCCS Au Pair courses being offered for Spring or Summer of 2024. Course offerings will be updated on this webpage.

If you are interested in future course offerings, please fill out the enquiry form below and you will be put on our email list.

Courses offered by UCCS Academic Outreach are open to Au Pairs. Courses are offered in a hybrid format with online coursework and live sessions. Participants can earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Au Pairs must be present at all the mandatory in-person sessions, Zoom Meet Ups, and complete some online coursework. If you cannot make an in-person session, you should not sign up for this course.

Example of past course options: Get 6 CEUs in one in-person weekend, two Zoom meetings, and online work.
