What is a "Fresh Start" at CSU?

"Fresh Start" provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to establish a new academic record and continue their education at Colorado State.

Students may apply for Fresh Start if five full years have elapsed since the student's last term of enrollment as a regularly admitted student at Colorado State. (i.e., if a student’s regularly enrolled semester was Fall, 1995, the student may apply for Fresh Start in the Fall of 2000 and be admitted for Spring, 2001). PLEASE NOTE: the student is still eligible for Fresh Start if, during the five-year interval, classes have been taken through Continuing Education, GUEST registration, summer session, or from other institutions.

Students who are interested in applying for a Fresh Start should phone the Center for Advising and Student Achievement, 491-7095, to schedule an appointment to meet with a CASA adviser to discuss the policy and the application procedure.
