Orientation FAQs

Is Orientation required?

Yes, for all incoming full-time students.  That includes Freshmen, transfers, students living on campus, and commuters. 

Since Orientation is required, why do I need to register?

Students can request accommodations, leave comments, and questions.

What if my guest count changes after I register?

That’s okay!  You do not need to inform us of those changes.  We just use the number as an estimate.
