CHOOSE CSUAPRIL 18, 2015

WE DESIGNED THE DAY TO LET YOU ANSWER THAT.At CSU we love the fact that our students combine their interests and passions to create a learning experience that is unique to them.

And that got us thinking. Why wait until a student is enrolled to give them that experience?

We hope you spend some time looking through this guide to find the sessions and activities that matter to you. Learn more about programs and services you’ll take advantage of, explore sessions that you know nothing about or just take the day as it comes.

We’ve outlined a recommended planning approach to the left, but don’t be afraid to branch out and make the day your own.

Of course, we’ll be available to help you plan your day and navigate campus. Ask us anything during check-in or find a campus representative throughout the day.

WHAT WILLCHOOSE CSU BE LIKE?

BREAK OUT THE PENS. PLAN YOUR DAY.

STEP 1.Plan your day according to your interests. Use the charts on the following pages to learn more about the sessions, see when they’re offered, and mark your interest in attending on the right side of the chart.

STEP 2.Once you have decided which sessions and activities to attend, fill out your schedule on the back of your guide. There’s plenty of room to add important information to the schedule like session location or even some questions you plan to ask.

STEP 3.Have a great day! Remember to meet future classmates, ask good questions and take in how campus feels. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what your future might hold at Colorado State, but don’t forget to enjoy yourself in the present.
