Every fall during the week before classes we create a unique experience aimed to help new students get off to the best start possible. Orientation is about finding connections with peers, staff, and campus resources that prepare you to succeed at TU.
This year’s Orientation theme is It’s Your TUrn!
Transitions like starting college are challenging. And if you add a global pandemic to the mix, the need for support only increases. Orientation is designed to help you thrive, even in this difficult moment.
We have adjusted our Orientation program to prepare for starting college during the COVID -19 epidemic. Whether you are commuting to campus each day or will be living on campus, you will want to take part in this valuable four-day experience, August 19-22. You can learn more, including an overview of the schedule, by visiting this SharePoint page (you’ll need to be logged in with your TU credentials).
Our Peer Mentor Team guides each student through Orientation.
- Most students will go through a hybrid Orientation experience that includes both online gatherings and in-person small groups led by our Peer Mentors.
- For non-traditional transfer students, we are offering an abbreviated Saturday session.
- For students who are physically isolating, a couple of our Peer Mentors will be facilitating a remote experience of the Orientation schedule. Let your Peer Mentor know if this is your preference.
