We know the college admissions process can be intimidating. That’s why we have a team of admissions professionals to help you with questions you might have on your journey to become part of the Colorado State University “Ramily.”

What’s an admissions counselor?

An admissions counselor is your go-to person for almost anything that comes up during your college search, application process, and after. No matter what stage of the process you’re in, you’ll have a counselor until you’re rolling up to campus for the start of the semester.

You are assigned a counselor based on your applicant/student type. Find your counselor below!
