Arrival & Housing

CU Denver staff, students, and faculty are excited to welcome you to campus! Office of International Affairs staff and Global Ambassadors work hard to make sure you are settled and have a positive introduction to the US and your new home, Denver, Colorado.

Once you receive your immigration paperwork completed and obtain your visa, you can prepare for your journey to Denver. Denver International Airport (airport code: DEN) is a major hub and connection from CU Denver to the world, with direct flights to 212 cities in 13 countries.

There are on-campus and off-campus housing options you can choose from. There are two on-campus housing options (Lynx Crossing – formerly Campus Village), and we are excited to announce that a new student residence, City Heights, is now open! This space creates a communal heart for the entire campus community. The gathering areas, dining options, and student access to academic support, as well as a variety of co-curricular success services, are designed to support all students and help them build new connections with each other, faculty, and staff.
