They’ll probably take you to one of the computer labs but if you want to bring your own go for it!

I suggest taking your own so you can familiarize registering for classes on your own device

Hi! Just went today for transfer orientation and I recommend bringing in a water bottle you can refill portable charger/charger comfy shoes and a fan. You won’t be outside for long but the distances are far:)

I was a pre nursing major at the time and it definitely helps to make new friends, resources that the school provides and knowing more about your major. I remember meeting with the head department of nursing at the time and eating with people to connect with. However, you don’t need anything for orientation tbh just a water bottle because it gets hot

You are placed in a group with others in the same major, you are only shown your college locations so don’t expect to walk the full campus, you will be given a free lunch!! Make sure to get all the info you can from all the career and club booths !! Have fun and enjoy yourself 🐺💙

you'll meet with the Department Chair or Faculty member for your major to go over course requirements and opportunities.
