New Student Orientation is the a three-day experience to kickoff your life as a Red Hawk! This event is mandatory for incoming first-time freshman and transfer students. This is when new students will move into dorms, complete pre-semester tasks, and connect with other students, faculty, advisors, and university leaders before classes begin. Many first-time student forms can be completed before welcome weekend.
Weekend Highlights:
- New Student Move In
- Family Farewell & Dedication Service
- Campus Life Events
- Day of Service
- Local Church & Simpson Worship
(full schedule coming soon)
Any further questions, about welcome weekend, registration, or the upcoming semester, can be directed to your Admissions Counselor – or call Admissions (530) 226-4600.
