Cougar Start U Orientation

Cougar Start U is CSU’s new student orientation and is designed to engage you, our newly admitted “Cougars”, and your parents by providing an intimate overview of the University before classes begin.

During the Cougar Start U, you will meet with the college deans and key administrators who are critical in your educational success. Additionally, you will complete all facets of the registration/enrollment process - provided you have completed placement test and sexual assault awareness training (See new student checklist).

You will also meet one on one with our academic and financial aid advisors and attend educational workshops given by the Office of the Bursar, Academic Affairs, Student Financial Aid, and Information Technology Services
