International Student Orientation
Congratulations on your admission to the Colorado School of Mines!
We are looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you to campus. Our International Student Orientation is required and designed to provide you with information about resources available to you and assist in your transition to the campus and surrounding community.
During orientation week, you will hear from office representatives from across campus on topics such as Student Health Insurance, Student Health Center , Adjusting to Life in the United States, the Library, Public Safety, and Maintaining Your Visa Status. You will also get to meet some of the ISSS staff and attend several fun social events throughout the week.
Attending orientation not only provides you with an opportunity to learn about Mines and the resources available to you, it also allows for you to meet other new students! You can find the complete orientation schedule above. Please note that attendance is required at all orientation sessions. If you do not attend required sessions, a registration hold will be placed on your record for the following semester.
We look forward to seeing you there!
