Pre-Orientation Programs
Pre-orientation programs allow new students to move in early and connect with a small cohort of peers. They are a great experience for anyone looking to make friends, learn about campus, and engage in the community in a more intimate environment.
New students participating in pre-orientation move into their fall housing assignments four days prior to New Student Move-In.
Pre-Orientation program registration will be available May 1st, 2024. More information about registration can be found on the New Student Checklist.
