Summer Orientation Schedule
We can't wait to welcome you to campus! Below is the schedule for each of our four Summer Orientation sessions. There are two separate schedules for students and families which will run concurrently. A majority of our day is purely informative, with some time for socializing worked in.
*As a note, students will complete course registration and housing selection virtually a few weeks after they attend orientation. Students who cannot attend in-person orientation may elect to take part in a virtual program where they will receive all the necessary information for course registration and housing selection.
Below is last year's schedule for Summer Orientation. The 2025 schedule will be made available in mid-March.
