When: October 9, 2026 from 10 AM to 3:30 PM

Who it's for: Colorado community college partners

What it is: Colorado community college staff are impactful guides in a student’s transfer journey, and each university your students consider is unique in feel, programs, resources, and processes. To support your work with transfer students interested in CSU, we invite you to an event just for Colorado community college partners. Learn about the ways CSU serves transfer students in their journey to and through our institution. You'll receive information about transfer admissions, transfer-specific support services, financial aid, and more. Come join us in forming connections and creating a space of collaboration as we work together to serve students. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

CSU transfer admissions thanks you in being an important partner!

We continuously try to make our campus a vibrant, welcoming space. Please check the following information before your visit.

  • Colorado State University’s Principles of Community help us express what our community stands for and guide our expectations for not only our students and staff, but also our guests. These values are inclusion, integrity, respect, service, and social justice.

What if we’re running late?

While late check-ins are welcome, we encourage you to arrive early. Our goal is to make the check-in process as easy as possible, but lines and wait times can be unpredictable. Don’t worry, we won’t turn you away if you’re running a little late!

What if there is a weather emergency?
In the event CSU is closed due to weather, all registrants will receive a text notification of the event’s cancellation, and a notice will be posted at safety.colostate.edu. It is rare for CSU to close due to weather due to our well-equipped facilities department, but we want you to make the decision whether to attend based on your circumstances and comfort.

What should I wear?
We recommend you wear comfortable clothing that is appropriate for the weather. You may be a part of sessions that are both indoors and outdoors, especially if you choose to take the campus tour.

Can I bring a group of colleagues to the event?
Yes! We’re excited to connect with as many community college partners as possible. We ask that each individual register independently for the event.

I cannot find the confirmation email after registering. Where do I find it?
Please contact [email protected] for your confirmation email to be re-sent.
