Families and Guests Orientation


Dear Family Members and Guests;

We are so pleased your student has chosen to attend Colorado State University! From our experience, when students go to college, they bring their families with them (perhaps not physically, but very much emotionally!). Family support and encouragement are crucial for students’ success and we invite you to enter into a partnership with us to support your student at Colorado State University.

This partnership began when your student was admitted to CSU and now the next step is attending an Orientation and Registration program. We have designed a special Family and Guest Orientation schedule that coincides with your student’s schedule to assist the whole family in the transition to the college experience.

We offer orientation programs for both transfer students (Next Step) and freshmen (Preview). For more information, please click on the appropriate link:

We believe that visiting Colorado State’s campus this summer is a valuable investment in your student’s education and your family’s transition. If you have any questions, concerns, or need further details, please call the Orientation office at (970) 491-6011 or email orientation@colostate.edu.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Colorado State University family!

Sincerely,

Jody Donovan, Ph.D.
Assistant to the Vice President for
Parent and Family Programs
