Welcome to the Colorado Christian University family — we are excited to welcome you to our great University! We know this is a new and exhilarating portion of your journey through life, and we are happy to help you make the transition into life at CCU.

Weekend of Welcome (WOW) is the beginning of CCU's new student orientation program for incoming students in our College of Undergraduate Studies. You and your family will have the chance to attend workshops, information sessions, and events that will help you connect to our community.

Student and parent programming begin with move-in on August 24 at 9:00 a.m. and will end on August 25 with a final meal and farewell. Student programming will continue through Sunday, August 27. Please check this website and your CCU email regularly for updates.

The New Student Retreat completes the orientation process and takes place four weeks after WOW on September 22-24, 2023. This is a required event for all students enrolled in the INT 101 and INT 202 classes.
