New/Incoming Students

Welcome to Colorado State University!

Colorado State University has welcomed international students for more than one hundred years. We place great value in the cultural perspectives and intellectual insights that you bring to our community. On behalf of the Office of International Programs, we look forward to welcoming you to campus.

Preparing for CSU

Before you even set foot on CSU’s campus, you can begin to orient yourself to life here. The Pre-Arrival Guide is a detailed list of tasks you’ll need to complete before you arrive, and our arrival page details what to plan for when you arrive. Review both of these resources thoroughly to ensure a smooth transition!

International Orientation

All incoming international students are required to attend International Student Orientation. At orientation, you will learn about all of the information to help you adjust to the CSU campus and community. After orientation there will be plenty more programs and activities to help with with cultural adjustment, academic success, and community-building.

Staying Connected!

To learn about events and programs hosted by International Programs, please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on instagram. We also invite you to join our Facebook group, CSU International Rams, a forum for the international community at CSU to get connected and ask questions.
