International Student Orientation Steps
We welcome international students to the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. If you have been admitted to UCCS, your next step is to complete the following steps. These steps are designed to enhance your academic, social, and professional transition to UCCS.
Step 1: Undergraduate students register & class registration appointment
Undergraduate students - Please register for your orientation class registration appointment. International Students will register for orientation and schedule a 1-hour orientation appointment. During the appointment, orientation leaders will welcome new students to the UCCS community and guide them through the class registration process. Students will leave the orientation appointment having registered for classes. Following orientation registration, students & family members will also gain immediate access to online UCCS welcome resources and materials to begin their successful UCCS journey.
Graduate Students - Please contact your academic program advisor for class registration support.
