Mesa Experience

The Mesa Experience visitation program gives future students and their families a comprehensive opportunity to visit Colorado Mesa University in person. This in-depth, one-day event will allow you to tour the campus, meet and talk with current students and enjoy lunch served by our dining service provider. Additionally, you will attend breakout sessions addressing such topics as financial aid, housing, admissions, athletics and student life.

If you have questions regarding the event or registration, please contact Melissa Tolson at 970.248.1693 or [email protected].

Registration for Fall 2022 Mesa Experience events will open soon. Save the date for October 8, October 29 or November 5. If you'd like to visit campus this summer, we invite you to sign up for a campus tour.

Accommodations

We encourage you to stay at Hotel Maverick — our boutique-style teaching hotel located on the CMU campus. You will enjoy breathtaking views of the area as well as close proximity to historic downtown Grand Junction. You can also check out additional dining and accommodation options here.

Please plan to check in during the academic and club fair starting at 8:30am. The Welcome will kick off at 9:15am and the day will conclude at 2:30pm.

You and your guests will tour campus, connect with current CMU students and professors and enjoy lunch. Three residence hall styles will be included in your tour. After lunch, you will have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions to equip you with practical insight about financial aid, housing, admissions and student life.

Event admission is free for prospective students. Additional guests cost $15 per person. We highly recommend that you pay the program guest fee in advance here. This will streamline your check-in process.
