New Student Orientation

All incoming students are required to attend New Student Orientation in June or July this year.

Students will also register for fall semester classes.ÌýÌý

With increased traffic around Boulder during move-in, parking closures help create a more efficient move-in experience for new students and families by limiting the number of vehicles driving to, on and around campus.ÌýÌýÌý
