Orientation

The New Student Orientation program is an experience designed to help you transition into the Quinnipiac community. Throughout the one-day session, you will interact in small groups with your classmates to begin forming new friendships and be introduced to a wide array of university resources. Our students aren’t the only ones who come to campus each June and August to learn the ropes. We have a specially designed family orientation program on the same day of each session.
