Orientation

The Campus Orientation is for on campus students taking classes on ground. Online students taking classes strictly online do not need to attend the Campus Orientation, but can attend the Virtual Orientation and do need to complete their RMCAD Launch before starting classes.

The 2025 Spring A Orientation will run for approximately 2.5 hours. Please expect to be on campus for Orientation from 11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. MST

Yes, we strongly encourage you to stay for the duration of the event so that you are fully prepared for your classes.

Orientation is meant for students who will be taking on-campus classes during their time at RMCAD. The program will include presentations from departments with important information, technology training, and an introduction to your first-year courses – all integral pieces to your success at RMCAD.

You will have your photo taken at check in for your student ID. IDs and RTD passes will be available for pick up from the Techbar during the first week of classes. If you plan to utilize your RTD pass to travel to Orientation, please email spectrum@rmcad.edu so that we can accommodate your needs before the event.

Throughout the day you will meet key staff members who will share important resources and tools for you to utilize in your classes and as you complete your degree. You will also have the chance to meet the Student Ambassadors and spend time connecting with your peers as well.

You will receive a copy of your class schedule via email from your Academic Advisor. If you need to make changes to your schedule, the advisors will be on hand during the Academic Advising session to answer your questions.

You will be able to speak with some key staff members during Orientation. If the person you are looking for is not on the schedule, we will make sure you have their contact information so that you can follow up with them via email or phone call during regular business hours.

Please RSVP here by Wednesday, January 1, 2024 to attend the Spring A Orientation. You will receive a confirmation email and additional details once we receive your RSVP.
