Family & Guest Orientation
We welcome and strongly encourage family members and guests to participate in Family & Guest Orientation. Data shows that students are more successful when their support networks are familiar with resources available to them.
Participating in the Family & Guest Orientation is a way for you as someone who supports and cares for a CU Denver student to get questions answered and learn how to best support your student as they transition to the university. As a support person of a CU Denver student, we rely on you to encourage students to engage academically and socially so they have the best possible chance of making CU Denver their home for the next few years and succeeding in college!
When you attend the virtual Family Orientation, you can expect the following content areas to be covered and have time for general Q&A:
- Academic Success Tips and Resources
- Important Academic Dates
- Billing Process
- And more!

Spotlight Sessions
There is a lot of information to know even outside your 4 Step Orientation Process, so we partner with other CU Denver campus offices to host monthly spotlight sessions about various topics! These monthly sessions are hosted via Zoom to get you all the information you want and need before the start of the semester.
Can’t attend a session? No worries, all sessions will be recorded and posted on this website!
