Undergraduate Orientation
Last week, students were sent introductory information on Undergraduate Orientation, and updated information will be sent to them over the next few weeks. The Undergraduate Orientation web page is the best place for updated information and details. A preliminary Orientation calendar will be posted and updated on the website throughout August.
Undergraduate Orientation is required for all new students, including new Transfer students. Orientation will run from Thursday, September 2, to Monday, September 6. On Tuesday, September 7, the University celebrates Rosh Hashana, and classes begin on Wednesday, September 8.
Upon arrival, students will receive a final orientation schedule and other detailed information on how they will navigate the selection of Undergraduate Orientation programming. During Orientation, students participate in a wide range of programs designed to familiarize them with campus resources, build community and connection, and establish skills for independence and responsibility. We divide our goals for Orientation into four broad categories: Intellectual Engagement and Inquiry, Meaningful Inclusion, Community and Belonging, and Health and Wellness. The Undergraduate Orientation planning team is excited for student arrival and this year's program!
Pre-Orientation Programs
For parents and families of students participating in a Pre-Orientation program, updated information can be found on the Pre-Orientation web page. Students participating should be hearing directly from program leadership regarding the specifics and logistics of that program. Questions regarding Pre-Orientation can be directed to preorientation@tufts.edu.
