Orientation is a very special time because it is an opportunity for us to welcome you into our community and assist you in making the smoothest transition possible.

All new undergraduate students, including transfer students, are assessed a one-time New Student Fee, which will be applied to your student account. This mandatory, non-refundable, and non-transferable fee helps cover many of the costs associated with the activities and materials provided to new students and their families during Orientation weekend, including selected meals and student labor provided by Orientation Assistants and Coordinators.
