Orientation Tours
An Orientation Tour is an opportunity for you and your family to get
more familiar with the campus and is customized to meet your needs.
Your Tour Guide will lead you through a tour of your academic buildings so you
can learn where your classes are located and will confirm that all required
documents have been received.
Orientation Tours are for students confirmed to attend Fall 2023 and were not able to attend our in-person Orientation in June.
All visitors must pre-register for our Orientation Tours. Walk-in tours will not be available.
We are very excited to have you and your family on campus soon!
