Orientation is your time.

Summer Orientation for freshmen beginning classes in the fall term will be held in late June. An optional Parent & Family Orientation program is held concurrently with Summer Orientation, but students and their parents & adult family members will follow separate orientation schedules.

Orientation is a great opportunity to learn more about your new University community. Campus offices and departments come together to welcome new students and their parents & adult family members to share information about student resources and campus policies & expectations at these few select times of the year. Don't miss this opportunity - it only happens once in your college career! Make the most of your orientation program: meet other new students, experience living & dining on campus, and have your questions answered.

All new students are required to attend orientation. If you are unable to attend one of the four on-campus orientation sessions, please contact our office at 856-256-4041 to make arrangements for registration in July or August and our online orientation program.

Rowan is your place.

   Orientation Expectations
   We expect students to make their own reservations for orientation (and to make the parent & guest reservations as well). Students are responsible for creating their Rowan University computing account and keeping this information safe and secure. Students should not share this information with anyone, including their parents, in order to ensure the confidentiality of student records.
   We expect students to attend all orientation activities. All sessions during orientation are required and programming is specifically designed to assist students with their academic and social transition to the University.
   It is our goal for students to build a relationship with their advisors as well as learn the necessary skills to register on their own in future terms. Therefore, we expect students to register for classes with the assistance of the professional academic advisors only, and not their parents or family members.
   We expect students to follow all University policies, as well as all applicable laws and ordinances, including rules prohibiting alcohol and drug use. Failure to comply with these rules can result in dismissal from orientation without being permitted to register for classes, termination of fall residence hall contract, further disciplinary action by the University, and/or legal consequences such as arrests, tickets and fines, and future appearances in local courts.
