New Student Orientation is an essential part of your undergraduate college experience, provides a foundation for success, and is required for all incoming undergraduate students. New Student Orientation will provide you with details about campus life, student services, degree requirements, and, upon completion, you will receive course registration access for your first term.

Students may bring up to two guests with them to orientation, with special programming available for family and other guests. Orientation sessions run from 9am-5pm and breakfast and lunch are provided for students and guests.
Non-degree, postbaccalaureate, and graduate students are not required to complete this New Student Orientation program. There may be orientation requirements specific to your program, contact your department for more information.
