First-year
and first-year transfer students
versus upper-division transfer
students:
For the purposes of advising during
orientation, you are considered
a first-year student if you graduated
high school within the past year,
even if you are transferring credits
into CU-Boulder. |
Important notes:
- First-year and
first-year
transfer orientation
is a 2-day program in June/July
and a 3-day program in August.
- Upper-division
transfer orientation
is offered in July
or August.
- Please do not make
travel arrangements until
you have confirmed your orientation
date.
- In June/July, housing check-in
begins at 7:00 a.m. on the
1st day. Orientation check-in
begins at 7:15 a.m. and your
first required meeting is at
8:00.
- First-year registration
can go as late
as 5:00 on the 2nd day, so
please plan to be available
for the entire program.
- August orientations are
for out-of-state students who
cannot attend a June/July program.
The check-in times for August
will be sent in your confirmation
packet.
- In June/July sessions you
can arrange for early

As an incoming student, you are about to embark on an exciting
new phase in your life. The Orientation, Advising, and Registration
Program is designed to familiarize you with campus, provide you with
academic advising, and enable you to register for classes. We hope you
complete orientation feeling confident about starting school in August.
You MUST attend an orientation program in order
to register for classes. First-year and first-year
transfer students must also stay overnight in
the residence halls during the program, whether
or not they will be living on campus in the fall.
Upper-division transfer students have the option
of staying in the residence halls during the
transfer orientation program.
NOTE: Students have an equal chance of getting
courses at each session, because seats are
reserved for each session in June, July,
and August.
- First-year Colorado resident students are
required to attend a two-day June or July
session.
- Out-of-state students are strongly encouraged
to attend one of the June or July programs,
which are more personalized than the larger
August sessions.
- Upper-division transfer students are required
to attend a July or August session in order to be eligible to register for classes. Program details will be sent in your confirmation packet.
- Space at each session is determined by major and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
