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 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.
