Program Overnight
Freshman Student Overnight Options
Orientation is a two-day program and students must attend both days.
There are two overnight options from which students can choose - overnight in a campus residence hall or arranging their own overnight place to stay. Both options include meals in a campus dining commons. Most students choose to stay overnight in the on-campus residence hall.
Program With Accommodations (on-campus residence hall, students only) - Includes one overnight on campus, the two-day Orientation program, and four meals on campus. Overnight stay will be provided in an on-campus residence hall. Student roommate requests cannot be honored. Sheets, blankets, towels, and pillow are provided.
Program Only - Includes the two-day Orientation program and four meals on campus. This option is for students who make their own overnight arrangements due to preference or if space is not available in the Program With Accommodations. Local hotels and lodging options are listed on this website.
See fees and billing for information on fees, payment, and financial assistance.
