Academic Orientation, Fall Orientation, and Welcome Week are your opportunities to get acquainted with life at Ursuline.

 Spring Orientation & Advising 

You will learn SO MUCH important information during Spring Orientation. You'll meet your future classmates and connect with current students. Last but not least, bring your questions! This is the perfect opportunity to talk more about your major and any goals you may have for your time at Ursuline (and beyond!). 

Spring Orientation is schedule for Wednesday, January 5th from 8:45 AM - 1:00 PM.

This required program will serve as your overview of academics at Ursuline College. On this day you will learn about our core curriculum, as well as specific requirements about your major. You will meet with an academic advisor/faculty member to select and then register for your classes for the next semester. This orientation is designed to facilitate your smooth transition and promote your academic success at Ursuline. You will also have the opportunity to meet some current Ursuline students and other new students. 

One parent/guardian is invited to join you during your Orientation! They will meet the Ursuline staff members who can support you as you begin your journey at Ursuline. When you submit your RSVP, please indicate if a parent/guardian will be joining you at the event.
