Summer 2024 Orientation
Important information:
- Orientation is mandatory.
- Placement testing should be completed prior to Orientation.
- Prior to your arrival on campus for orientation, students will be given access to our Canvas course, "Becoming a Bronc - Your Guide to Success," which includes important information about campus resources, policies, and expectations to ensure a successful start to your academic journey as a Bronc.
- While the majority of Orientation is for students only, we understand the importance of supporting families and guests during the transition to college. Each session will have a dedicated Family & Guest Program (for the overnight sessions, the Families and Guests Program will occur on day 2).
