New Student Orientation is a required program for all first-year students will take place at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Our program is a 3-day (fall semester) or one day (spring semester) on-campus experience for all new incoming students before classes begin. Throughout this experience, students become more familiar with campus, learn about involvement opportunities and campus resources, and meet other new students while connecting with current student leaders.
