Steps for Admitted Freshmen

After students receive their official offer of admission, there still are important steps to be taken to prepare to enroll at Colorado State University. Refer to the links below for details.

+ Create an eID

- Tell Us Your Plans & Submit the Enrollment Deposit

The offer of admission is an invitation to join our campus community, and to best prepare for our incoming class, we need to know whether or not students have accepted our invitation. In order to be "registration ready," eligible to register for classes, admitted students must respond to the offer of admission and submit a nonrefundable $300 enrollment deposit, which serves as an advanced tuition payment.

To respond to the offer of admission and to make the enrollment deposit, admitted students log in to RAMweb using their eID. Payment of the enrollment deposit may be made using Visa, MasterCard, or electronic check.

Freshman students should respond and pay their enrollment deposit by May 1 for the fall semester or December 15 for the spring semester.

  • Students admitted after these dates should submit their deposit within two weeks of receiving the offer of admission.

  • Students planning to enroll for the first time during a summer session also must submit an enrollment deposit before they can register for courses; summer course registration begins in January-February.

  • If payment of the $300 deposit presents a financial hardship, students are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions. We are here to help make the transition to Colorado State University as smooth as possible, and we do not want the payment of the deposit to stand in the way of a student's desire to attend CSU.
