International Student Orientation

Congratulations on your admission to Colorado School of Mines!
Welcome to Colorado School of Mines! 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, 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, Public Safety, and Maintaining Your Visa Status. 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. Make sure to register to the event and check-in after arriving to the United States using the buttons below. 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!
