Welcome

As a new Cougar, you'll be required to experience our ROAR program before you can attend classes. The ROAR (Recruitment, Orientation, Advisement, Registration) program is designed to help ease the transition from high school to college as well as prepare parents for their student's new journey. ROAR provides students and parents with information on all services CSU has to offer, as well as their first advising and registration session for their classes. Below are the descriptions of the programs that we offer. Please review and select the one that best fits your enrollment status.

Freshman ROAR is for all first year traditional students (those who are no more than 5 years out of high school and have never attended college).

Non Traditional and Transfer ROAR is for those students who have been out of high school for more than 5 years or those transferring from another institution with less than thirty hours.

Students transferring in with more than thirty hours should sign up for the Transfer Student on-line orientation.

Graduate Students should sign up for the Graduate Student on-line orientation.
