Orientation

Welcome, ThunderWolves! Orientation is your first step into the CSU Pueblo community. Our programs connect you and your family to the academic resources and support services you need for a successful transition.

Start Here: Thunderwolf 101 (Online Orientation)

All new students are required to complete Thunderwolf 101, which guides you through completing the New Student Checklist, learning about key academic platforms and campus resources, and fully prepares you for your first advising appointment. Thunderwolf 101 is self-paced and tracks your progress, so you can start and stop as needed.

Next: In-Person Orientation 

We highly encourage all new undergraduate main campus students, including first-year and transfer students, to attend an in-person session to meet fellow ThunderWolves, connect with your academic department, and get familiar with campus.

At In-Person Orientation, you will:

• Meet fellow new students starting alongside you
• Connect with your academic department and college to learn more about your major
• Hear from current students on how to succeed at CSU Pueblo
• Put faces to the offices and resources you learned about in Thunderwolf 101
• Get familiar with campus, where your classes, key offices, and resources are located

International Students

International Students have a separate orientation session through the The Center of Student Support and Advocacy. This orientation is focused on community-building as an international student in a new city and also on answering any questions you have on transfer credit, financial aid, etc. 

International students have other activities scheduled to answer specific questions on the international student experience.

International Students can contact The Center for Student Support and Advocacy.

We strive to make our New Student Orientation (NSO) programs here at Colorado State University Pueblo an exceptional and pleasant experience for our incoming students and their guests.
