Orientation day is an introduction to your program and the services you can access to support your student journey. All students starting a new program are required to attend! It’s a memorable day and comes at no extra charge, so we hope to see you there!
Program Orientation
Important program-related information will be shared during your Program Orientation session that is unique to each program. Find the specific time and location of your session. We recommend that you plan to first attend this Program Orientation session, then participate in other orientation activities. If your Program Orientation is scheduled for the afternoon, visit your campus early to find the location of your session then attend other activities until your orientation begins.
Student Orientation Events
After your Program Orientation learn about the services available to you as a student so you can understand how to take advantage of them throughout your program.
