New Student Orientation

Welcome to Systems Engineering at CSU!

We want to help our students with a smooth transition into the department and CSU. Our virtual orientations work alongside the Graduate School’s orientation to provide a student-centered experience. 

Please complete the orientation before the semester begins, and let us know if you have any questions!

Part 1: Accepting Admission

1. Review notice of Graduate Admission

After you have received official notice of admission from the Graduate School, your official Admission Letter can be accessed through your admissions application. Review this letter and submit any documentation that you are asked to provide. You may be restricted from course registration without this documentation.

Confirm your decision to attend through your admissions application so we know you will be attending!

If you wish to defer your admission to a later term, contact your Graduate Student Advisor:

Your CSU netID grants access to CSU systems.

You must know your CSU ID number to activate your netID. Your CSU ID number was emailed to you shortly after your application was submitted.

To log into many of the CSU systems that use the netID, you must also set up Duo Multi-Factor Authentication.

For technical assistance, email help@colostate.edu.

While you are a student at CSU, your CSU email is used for all official university communications, including billing, registration reminders, notices of deadlines, etc. You are responsible for checking your CSU email on a regular basis and all information sent.

Once your netID and Duo is set up, log into your CSU Office365 account using your netID@colostate.edu and your netID password, and Duo multi-factor authentication.

Your email address is formatted with your first name and last name, followed by @colostate.edu. For example, Cam.Ram@colostate.edu. This address is referred to as your “alias” and is the public address you should supply when someone wants to email you.

Students, staff and faculty in the College of Engineering have a computer account that provides access to the College computer network. Services include:

  • Login access to Engineering lab computers and resources
  • Personal file space on the Engineering College computer network
  • Printing credits for students
  • Access to online applications provided by ETS

Go here to create your ETS account.

Your Engineering account is separate from the electronic ID (netID) issued by the university. However, you must have your netID to sign up for an Engineering account.
