Arriving in the US<br />

Let Us Know You’re Coming<br />

We want your arrival in Colorado, and your<br />

transition to <strong>INTO</strong> CSU and the CSU campus<br />

to be as comfortable as possible. We can<br />

arrange for transportation to meet you at<br />

Denver International Airport and take you<br />

directly to your accommodation. Please arrive<br />

on the Saturday or Sunday before your start<br />

date when there will be <strong>INTO</strong> CSU staff at<br />

the airport to assist you.<br />

When booking your flights to Denver<br />

International Airport, please remember: you<br />

should arrive at least one day before your<br />

program start date (refer to brochure or I-20<br />

for start date) and arrive at the <strong>INTO</strong> CSU<br />

Center in Fort Collins by 8.00 am on your<br />

program start date.<br />

To book an airport transfer, send your arrival<br />

details to intoarrivals@colostate.edu at least<br />

seven days before you arrive. More details<br />

about airport transfer are on page 13. Even if<br />

you do not require a transfer, you must send<br />

us your arrival details so we can make sure<br />

everything is ready for your arrival at the<br />

<strong>INTO</strong> CSU Center.<br />
