Orientation

Welcome to the Assumption University Community!

Your AU journey begins now—and you won’t want to miss a moment of it.

All incoming students are required to attend New Student Orientation, and trust us…this will set the tone for an unforgettable start to your college experience. This program is meant for students and their families/guardians to attend.

During this can’t-miss, two-day overnight Orientation, you will:

Engage in activities designed for fun, connection, and Greyhound pride.
Connect with classmates and start forming the lifelong friendships that define the AU experience (you might even meet your future roommate!).
Discover everything Assumption offers you as an official member of the Class of 2030.

…and meet with a faculty advisor and build your very first college schedule.

5 REASONS WHY YOU CAN’T SKIP IT

Every student must attend both June and August sessions
You’ll get essential info you cannot get on your own
You’ll show up in August already knowing people instead of starting from scratch
You’ll feel comfortable on campus before the semester even begins
Missing it means missing your chance to get ahead socially and academically

2026 Orientation Dates

Session 1: Tuesday, June 16 – Wednesday, June 17
Session 2: Monday, June 22 – Tuesday, June 23
Session 3: Thursday, June 25 – Friday, June 26
