Orientation and Welcome Weekend sessions give you an early taste of campus life.
These sessions will help get you familiar with campus, other students, faculty and staff before classes start.
Orientation and Welcome Weekend will ease the transition to college life. During the sessions, you’ll learn more about all Mount St. Joseph University offers. You’ll also get the opportunity to meet other new students and upperclassmen.
All first-time freshmen must attend an Orientation Session and Welcome Weekend. New transfer students can come to both, but are only required to attend Welcome Weekend.
Orientation Session Dates
We’ll offer three Orientation Sessions for students entering in the Fall. Students will attend only one:
· Wednesday, August 19, 2020
· Thursday, August 20, 2020
· Friday, August 21, 2020
Up-to-date event schedules will be given out at each Orientation. Only resident students will stay overnight after their Orientation session. We’ll provide bed linens and towels. You should bring your own toiletries.
Access your Orientation Reservation form from your student status page (log-in required). You must be an admitted student for the fall semester and have already completed necessary enrollment steps in order to register for Orientation.
Parents & Guardians
Due to issues related to COVID-19, parents and guests will not be permitted to attend Orientation. However, a special Zoom meeting will be set up and hosted for them so they can learn more about campus.
Note
- Please include a first and second choice. Soon after, we’ll send a letter confirming your Orientation Session date. As you make your selection and plans, remember:- You must first complete your first semester course schedule. Then we’ll process your Orientation Session Reservation form. Space at each session is limited, so submit this form as early as possible.
- To avoid conflict with sport summer camp schedules, Fall athletes involved in sport summer camps prior to the beginning of the academic year will need to select the Friday, August 21, 2020 Orientation session when completing their reservation form.
