Orientation helped me meet new people and understand what college life will be like.
Attendance at Part 1 and Part 2 of New Student Orientation is required of all incoming first-time-to-college students.
The Summer 2024 Orientation Program
Part 1: In-Person, orientation program
Our programs do have space limits, so we encourage you to register early! Emails about orientation will be sent out via the email you listed on your admissions application, beginning the first week of April. To register for orientation, you must first pay your tuition deposit. Please note that our student programs are overnight, except for the dates where we are offering an extended 1-day program. During this program, it is expected that the student stays for the full length of the program and is fully engaged. We recognize that a full day experience is not for everyone and encourage our students to make the best decision for their needs. Please visit our FAQ page for more information.

Part 2: Academic Advisement (approximately 30-45 mins.)
In your orientation registration, you will fill out a series of questions that will assist our First Year Experience Office in building your preliminary schedule. After you register for your orientation session, you will receive instructions on how to setup an advising session to confirm your schedule! This information will be sent by the Office of First Year Experience and will be sent to your campus email. Advising appointments will be offered both virtually and in person!
*Please note that a $100 orientation fee will be applied to your account.
