Welcome to Orientation. This is the First Class.

This course induction session is designed to prepare you for Week 1.

You'll meet your teachers, learn more about your course, and get answers to questions like:

  • How is my course structured?
  • What is a major and do I need to choose one?
  • What does a typical class look like?
     

You'll also meet other students from your course – this Orientation session is your chance to make connections. (We want you to spot a familiar face when you walk into class in Week 1!) 

RSVP via the form on this page to let us know you're coming.

Please arrive 30 minutes early to check in and get settled. During this time you'll have the opportunity to meet and mingle with peers and student leaders from your school. It will also assist in finishing your session on time so you can enjoy all the other fun things on campus.
