What does the orientation fee cover? The guest fee covers all costs of offering an orientation program, including meals, parking, materials, and event staffing.
Is it possible for me to attend part of the programming and not make a guest reservation? No, a paid reservation is required to attend any session in the orientation programming.
What time should I plan to be on campus? Plan for a full day of activities (8a - 5p).
Will I be able to attend all sessions with my student? No, there will be parts of the day when students and guests have separate programming (including when students meet with Academic Advisors to register for classes).
