New Student Orientation

Welcome Class of 2023

Overnight Accomodations

While attending Orientation in June, you will stay in Remillard Hall. Staying overnight is a requirement of the program. You must bring a sleeping bag or blanket & sheets, pillow, bath linens, toiletries, and comfortable clothes. This is a great opportunity to experience on-campus living first-hand and check out where you might be living next year! For those of you who plan to commute in the fall, you will have the chance to meet and spend time with your classmates.

Orientation Check-In

When you arrive on campus, there will be signs posted along Center Road to direct vehicles to appropriate parking areas. Students may drive themselves to orientation and park their cars overnight. Check-in will be held on Shamie Green between 9:00 am and 9:45 am. The first program of the day will begin at 10:00 am in the Fels Student Center. There will be light refreshments served prior to the first program. Be sure to arrive early, as many of the College’s service providers (Information Technology, Academic Advising, Public Safety, etc.) will be available for questions.

Orientation Roommate Assignments

All room assignments for Orientation are temporary; they have been randomly arranged for one night only. Unfortunately, no roommate requests will be honored during Orientation. All students will be housed with one to two other students. In order to receive the full Orientation experience, commuter students are required to stay overnight.

Outside Commitments

We strongly encourage all incoming Bison make their best effort to attend the two-day overnight Orientation session. While on campus, you’ll be completing paperwork and meeting with your professors and Academic Advisors. These meetings will determine your academic schedule for the fall semester. We require that students remain on campus throughout the entire program; this enables incoming students to have a thorough experience.

Please choose the session that allows you to stay for the entire day and a half program. If this is impossible, please contact Beth Gionfriddo, Director of Student Involvement, at orientation@nichols.edu to make necessary accommodations before Orientation.
