What is covered during orientation?
Tentative Fall 2010 Orientation Dates
Orientation dates will vary depending on your
college or school, whether you are a first-year or upper-division transfer
student, and whether you are a Colorado resident
or an out-of-state student.
College of Arts and Sciences, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and Leeds School of Business students
Information will be posted for the College of Architecture and Planning, the College of Music, and the College of Engineering and Applied Science as soon as it is available. Typically, these colleges offer a single orientation during the week before classes begin.
All incoming undergraduate students are required to attend all meetings during orientation. Students who fail to meet their orientation obligations or miss required programming may end up in late registration or lose their registration eligibility. Students are also expected to abide by the Student Code of Conduct. Students violating this code risk sanctions, including potential revocation of their admission.
Note: Individual departments will notify incoming graduate students about new graduate student orientations.
