Since New Student Orientation is designed to assist you with your successful transition to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, students are required to attend all portions of their Orientation in order to be cleared to register for classes. Students who fail to attend all Orientation events will be asked to return to another session.
Orientation Housing
We encourage students attending Fall New Student Orientation to stay overnight in our Conference Center Housing on the first evening of a 2-day session. You will be paired with another student attending Orientation. There is no additional fee to stay overnight on campus, but students must provide their own linens, towels, pillows, toiletries, and other items needed for their overnight stay.
Orientation Registration
Registration is currently unavailable for Fall Orientation. Information on registration will be mailed in February 2012 to newly admitted students.
