New student orientation for first-year students is two part experience: 

• Part one is virtual focusing on academics
• Part two is on-campus focusing on campus resources and student engagement

Attendance at both parts is required for all new students. Students will register for their fall semester courses at orientation. 

Orientation is designed to:

• Establish support services for students and promote university academic rigor through college advising.

• Create a sense of belonging for students as they become members of the campus community.
