SOAR: Student Orientation and Registration in Steamboat Springs

Register online now.

Yes. All incoming students under the age of 21 and/or living on campus are required to attend orientation. The material covered will be essential to your transition into Colorado Mountain College (i.e. placement tests, information on campus resources, advising and registering for classes, etc.). This also applies to in-district and transfer students.

The cost of Orientation is $175 for students living on-campus and $145 for off-campus students. The fee charged for orientation includes your food and housing during Orientation and covers the activities, sessions and services utilized. This fee is non-refundable two weeks prior to the event that you have registered for and will be charged to your student account. We will reassess this fee in the event that we cannot hold an in-person orientation.

After you register for Virtual Registration online, you will be sent a confirmation. You will receive additional information, including scheduled of events via email approximately one week before the event.

You will register for classes during orientation. You will meet with an advisor, register for classes, and pay for the semester at that time. You cannot register for classes prior to orientation.

You are welcome to bring guests to help you move into the residence hall. Orientation will be for students only. Historically, we have offered a virtual Parent Orientation session about a week prior to move-in. More information about this will be provided at a later date.
