New Student Orientation is a two-day program for incoming freshman and a one-day program for transfer students. The program is mandatory for all new students.

During orientation, you will have an opportunity to:

  • Learn about St. Mary's University
  • Meet other new students
  • Meet returning students who serve as Student Orientation Assistants (SOA's)
  • Meet with an academic advisor in your discipline and register for classes
  • Learn about the University's academic expectations and performance policies
  • Learn more about the Marianist charism and service learning mission of St. Marys University
  • Learn how to access the University's services and resources
  • Learn about important campus traditions and ways to get involved in campus life

New Student Orientation at St. Mary's University serves various roles in welcoming students to the St. Mary's community. New Student Orientation prepares students to be members of our community by:

  • Introducing students to the Marianist traditions and charism of our University
  • Easing the transition for both students and parents into the collegiate setting
  • Instilling a sense of pride in being a St. Mary's student
  • Providing an opportunity for new students and parents/guests to interact with other students, faculty, staff and alumni
  • Allowing the opportunity for course selection and registration
