Session Modality Option

We offer both virtual and in-person orientation options for freshman students. Both options will provide students the opportunity to register for their classes, meet with academic advisors, meet new students, and receive information for a successful transition to campus. Session dates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Your session is not confirmed until the orientation fee has been paid during the sign-up process.
