Fall Orientation

  • Overview

    New Student Orientation is a 2-day experience designed to assist students with their transition to life on our campus. During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet with your college dean and members of our faculty, meet other incoming students, learn about university resources and involvement opportunities, discuss important transition issues, meet with an academic advisor in your area of study, and register for classes.  You will be lead through your 2-day experience by a member of our Student Orientation Staff.

    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.
