Spring Orientation

What happens during Spring Orientation and why is it so important?


Orientation is a time when the University community comes together to embrace and welcome our new students. Orientation is a REQUIRED program for all new students, whether they are freshmen, transfer, international and resident or commuter students. It is important because it allows you to become more comfortable with the campus, including classroom buildings, student services and parking. By attending Orientation, you have your first opportunity to beat the lines and establish relationships with the academic deans, faculty and administration. Most importantly, you have a chance to meet fellow incoming students and current student leaders allowing you to create crucial friendships that last a lifetime. Students benefit from information on various unique aspects of the University from different departments such as the Offices of Campus Ministry, Judicial Affairs, Residence Life, Public Safety and Faculty. Students are also able to receive their Storm Cards, Laptops and amazing Orientation Giveaways.
