Orientation Schedule
2025 Student Schedule
Required New Student Orientation programming will begin promptly at 12:00 p.m. Please note, there is an optional morning tour for students & guests to attend should they choose. Students must stay for the entirety of the required programming from 12:00 - 5:30 p.m.
The Student and Guest orientation sessions have been developed to provide relevant information to each audience. This is your student's first step in the transition to college, and we ask that you allow them the space to engage and advocate for themselves. In light of this, guests will not be permitted to accompany their student during sessions, including the Course Registration session.
