Things to Know Before You Arrive

Residence Halls

• Residence Halls open for campus residents on Wednesday, August 21. Students may not move in earlier.
• Students living off campus should arrive on campus before 7:00 p.m. on the afternoon of August 21 in order to check in and receive a schedule for the weekend.
• CCU does not provide housing for parents or guests during WOW. The University has partnered with local hotels that offer special rates for visitors to Colorado Christian University. Parents or guests who require accommodations: be sure to ask for CCU's special rate when scheduling a reservation.

Meals/Food

• Student meal cards will be charged for student meals throughout Weekend of Welcome.
• With the exception of the Opening Banquet, CCU pays for all of your family members' meals in the cafeteria through Friday's dinner.

Life Directions Center

• Transferring credits and have questions?  Want to test out of a class? Wondering about ministry hours, study abroad, or internships? Contact the Life Directions Center at 303-963-3010.

Service Central

• Did you know that you will need to pay for your first semester at CCU before July 1? Call Service Central at 303-963-3230 and they can walk you through the process. Service Central helps students with financial aid, student accounts, and registration questions.

Dress

• Orientation is casual except for the banquet, which is dressy casual (summer dresses, nice shorts and shirts, khaki pants, etc.).

WOW Activities

• WOW is a very busy time. Activities planned for these four days are an important part of your transition into the CCU community and university life. Students, you will have a blast during this weekend, and parents, your children will be in good hands! We are so excited to have you join the CCU community.

Transportation to CCU

• If you need a ride from Denver International Airport (DIA), CCU can pick you up. Rides will be provided from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, so plan to arrive between these hours if you need transportation. Include your flight information on your registration for WOW. After you have obtained your baggage, proceed to the passenger pickup on the west side of the terminal outside the United Airlines door. A CCU van will be there to greet you.

• If you need a ride other than during the times listed above, you can visit the Denver International Airport website for shuttle information.
