First-year students are required to attend one of eighteen one-and-a-half day orientation programs between late May-early July 2026. Orientation programs fill up on a first-come, first-served basis, and do not have waiting lists, so new students should register early and be as flexible as possible with their availability. One common misperception is that students who attend later orientation sessions will have significant difficulty registering for classes. In reality, seats in the most common first-year courses are released for each orientation program, so students who attend later sessions are not at a disadvantage. Every student will leave orientation with a full schedule of classes that will help you on your way to timely degree completion.
The Student Transitions and Family Engagement staff is eager to welcome you to your fall semester orientation program! The detailed orientation schedule will be available in early May 2026.
