New Students

Whether you are considering CU Denver or have recently been admitted, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) Academic Advising Office is here to support you. Our advisors are dedicated to helping new students navigate their transition to college life, understand academic requirements, and begin their journey with confidence and clarity.

As an incoming student, you have much to look forward to—and much to do to prepare.  One of your first steps will be completing New Student Orientation, including Registration Day.  After completing your Registration Day, please follow the action items outlined on the Incoming Student page in preparation for your first semester.

Whether you're still deciding on a major or simply want to learn more about your options, our CLAS advising team is here to support you. We encourage you to schedule a one-on-one meeting with an advisor who can help you explore programs, answer questions, and guide your next steps.
