Every year the CSU Writing Center works with hundreds of graduate students from across the curriculum. Many of those graduate students have requested that we offer longer consultations for work on dissertations, theses, and professional writing projects. We’re happy to announce that hour-long consultations are now available. Whether you’re developing a literature review, working to understand reviewers’ comments, or trying to master a new genre of writing, we can help. Just make an Hour-Long Appointment Request. Questions? Contact us at writing@colostate.edu or 970-391-0222.

Show up & write. Drop-in writing sessions provide faculty and graduate students a designated time and place to “show up & write.”

Student Support Services

CSU Health Network

The CSU Health Network is available to every student and includes both mental and physical health services.

It is the policy of CSU that all full-fee paying resident-instruction graduate students enrolled in 5 or more credits are required to enroll in the CSU student health insurance plan or to receive a waiver by demonstrating comparable health insurance. CSU does not provide insurance coverage to spouses, domestic partners, nor dependents of graduate students. This policy does not impact the current policy of the University that requires all international students, regardless of enrollment status, to demonstrate comprehensive health insurance coverage through either the University health insurance plan or a comparable plan.

CSU Health Network: 970-491-7121; https://health.colostate.edu/

CSU Counseling Services: 970-491-7111, available 24/7 for urgent medical health concerns; https://health.colostate.edu/about-counseling-services/
