Pre-Arrival Trips

Get a jump start before classes...
...by signing up for one of our prearrival programs! CU Boulder offers several wonderful programs for students before classes start. Our prearrival programs give you the opportunity to move in early and start to build a community of like-minded peers. Whether you are interested in the environment, adventure, service or getting involved on campus, there is a program for you! If you don't want to participate in one of our prearrival programs, but are interested in moving in before your move-in date, you can move in early for an additional cost of $58 per day.

Outdoor Program

Sign up for one of three amazing incoming student trips! You'll meet like-minded, adventurous friends while exploring Colorado. Adventures include CU in the Rockies – a kayaking, climbing and backpacking trip; CU Mountain Fest where you'll ride horses, kayak, hike and climb; and CU Bound which includes climbing, hiking and canoeing. Learn more and register!

EcoReps

If you are interested in environmental leadership and building community, the EcoReps Program is for you! As a participant of this full-year leadership program, you'll move in early for training and an amazing retreat in Estes Park. EcoReps become part of a tight knit group of students that work together throughout the year as leaders in their residence halls. Learn more and apply!
