In universities, “office” is both a room someone might work from and also an organizational unit. For example, a professor may work from Office 201 in a certain building. At the same time, you may need to find someone in the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships to resolve questions about your financial aid award. For the sake of clarity, this page is concerned with the organizational offices within MSU Denver. Knowing what these offices are and what services they provide will hopefully get you pointed in the right direction quickly.
