Family Member and Guest at Next Step

We offer specially designed Next Step Orientation sessions for family members and guests. Next Step is a one day program that provides a vital introduction to the Colorado State community and we strongly encourage you to attend a session.

There is a $30 orientation charge for each person attending Next Step.

Orientation is about giving students the opportunity to learn more about Colorado State, to meet with an academic advisor and register for spring classes (if they have not already done so). It is also about families learning more about academics and student involvement at CSU and about how to support your student’s growth and development while at CSU.

Students and their families who have attended Next Step have repeatedly told our staff that coming to the session made the first year at Colorado State University much easier—students knew what to expect and where to go for assistance. Students also report feeling more comfortable in the Colorado State University community and making connections with other students, faculty, and administrators. Families felt more connected and knowledgeable about resources and how to successfully navigate through this time of transition.

Please reserve your session today—we do not want you or your student to miss the Orientation experience.
