Spring 2024 Class Registration
-
Submit your New Student Enrollment Form
Submit your New Student Enrollment Form in your applicant portal. The form will be available in November for all admitted first-time and transfer students.
Pre-Arrival Plan
-
Complete your pre-arrival plan
Your pre-arrival plan will guide you as you prepare for your first semester with insight about applying for housing, applying for financial aid, accepting your financial aid offer and more.
-
Complete your MAVcard submission process
Open the MyPhotos App in MAVzone. In the app, select 'Main Campus/WCCC' for your 'Group Affiliation.' Follow the prompts to upload an appropriate MAVcard photo and a picture of a government-issued photo ID such as your license. The MAVcard eForm will open after you submit your photos and signature. Select the appropriate options and submit the eForm. Approved MAVcards will be available at the Info Desk on the first floor of the University Center.
Campus Arrival
-
Purchase your parking pass
Purchase your parking pass for the semester. Due to ongoing construction and limited parking, we encourage freshman students not to bring cars to campus. As CMU continues to expand geographically, and with first-come first-served parking, students often struggle to find parking in close proximity to their residence hall. With an abundance of safe and free transportation options such as Mav Rides, The Dash and Mav Bike rentals, we find students can easily access on- and off-campus activities.
-
Move-in for on-campus residents
The Residence Life Office will email students who have a housing assignment a link to sign up for a move-in day and time. The message will be sent to your CMU email account in MAVzone.
-
Attend New Mav Days
New Mav Days will be the official welcome to campus for incoming students.
Commonly asked questions
You are not required to come to campus until your move-in day and time (if applicable) and New Mav Days. However, you are more than welcome to sign up for a campus visit at coloradomesa.edu/visit.
