Orientation week

We encourage all first-year students to arrive on your arrival date for the start of residence orientation events.

It’s been proven time and time again that first-year students who take part in orientation events make more friends and enjoy even more their time spent in residence throughout the year.

During orientation, you will:

  • receive your residence key
  • officially get checked into your room
  • receive your meal plan card
  • meet the residence assistants and residence staff
  • attend the mandatory residence meeting to get acquainted with the rules and ins/outs of living in residence

Residence orientation is only for first-year students living in residence, along with the Residence Life staff and their RAs. This allows time for everyone to get to know each other. Don't be shy - you're all in the same boat!
