What Happens at Orientation?

Orientation is our first opportunity to welcome you as a member of the Emmanuel community. During the two-day program, which begins at 9:30 a.m. on Day 1 and concludes at 4:00 p.m. on Day 2, you'll get a sneak peek of what life's like here at Emmanuel College. In addition to staying overnight in the residence halls and meeting your new classmates, we'll help you get started on becoming an active member of our community.

We've put together a full itinerary of activities for you, which you will receive upon your arrival to campus. Until then, here are a few highlights of what happens at Orientation:
• Meet your orientation leaders
• Meet your academic advisor—select your fall semester courses
• Succeeding in the classroom—meet members of our faculty
• Experience a day in the life of an Emmanuel student
• Get connected—learn about the Emmanuel MySaints Portal and your e-mail account
• Participate in the student resource and employment fair

Staying overnight is a mandatory component of your Orientation experience, so you will need to bring:
• Bedding (i.e. sheets, pillows, etc.)
• Towel
• Toiletries
• Comfortable clothes
• Photo ID
• Shower shoes
• Alarm clock
• Any personal prescriptions
• A small fan (optional)

*There will be open gym time later in the day, so you may want to bring some athletic gear as well.
