We’re excited to see you on campus soon! The online content below will make sure you have the best experience possible when you get to CSU!
Please complete the pre-course survey, and the online pre-course material before you attend the in-person session.
There are also helpful video demonstrations and additional reading. As the session dates approach we will add presentation notes for the in-person and online content that you will be able to refer back to in the future.
Please plan to bring a laptop or tablet to the course. During the course you’ll be using vPop-Pro software, which has a free 30-day trial of vPop-Pro (this is an affordable, cloud-based radiographic planning app available as a monthly subscription) — https://vpop-pro.com. Please plan to have the software already loaded onto your computer/tablet, and be ready to use during the course.
During the in-person session you’ll use this page to access the radiographs for the review sessions, as well as any other important course content.
Once you’ve completed the in-person session, make sure to finish the course by marking yourself complete in the “In-Person Completion” section, and taking the post-course survey.
