Orientation

Get acquainted with life at Ursuline during new student orientation!

Summer Advising & Registration Days

This is a required program that serves as your overview of academics at Ursuline College. It is designed to facilitate your smooth transition and promote your academic success at Ursuline.

Summer advising is the perfect opportunity to talk more about your major and any goals you may have for your time here (and beyond!), so bring your questions! 

You will:

• Learn about our core curriculum and specific requirements about your major
• Meet with an academic advisor/faculty member
• Select and register for your classes for the next semester
• Connect with current Ursuline students and other new students

• Be camera ready! You will leave the event with your Ursuline student ID so make sure you are camera ready.
• Parents/guardians are welcome, but the number of guests is limited. We know this is an exciting time, but due to space limitations, we ask that students only bring 1-2 parents/guardians with them to their Summer Orientation. When you submit your RSVP, please indicate if any parents/guardians will be joining you at the event.
• If you live out-of-state and it's too far to drive to the college, please plan to attend Summer Orientation on Thursday, August 21, ahead of Welcome Weekend.
• Second Degree Accelerated Nursing students will attend their own orientation. The nursing department will follow up directly with you with more details. 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email Barb Helms.
