First Year Students

Congratulations on your choice to become a Colorado State University Ram! We are eagerly awaiting your arrival to campus to introduce you and your family to CSU.

Ram Orientation programs are dynamic, student-centered experiences to inspire a purposeful transition into the Ram community. Orientation programs are the first step toward a successful graduation.

By intentionally immersing and connecting students to the story of Colorado State, orientation fosters an emotional connection to the people, places, and ideas of the Ram community to inspire success. Within this community built at orientation, students learn from staff, faculty, and current students the best practices for academic and personal success as they begin the journey toward graduation.

All new students are required to participate in Ram Orientation.

Please make sure to take your time and look through our website. All of your questions should be answered by following each of the links. If you do have a question, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (970) 491-6011 or orientation@colostate.edu.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Colorado State University family!
