Orientation

Orientation begins on Sunday, August 27 immediately after check-in and move-in (if applicable) and continues through Thursday, August 31. Each day is specifically designed to help new students transition academically and socially into the Stevens community. Students can expect robust evening programming each day to help you meet other new students. 

Orientation will help new students connect with their peers, faculty, campus administrators and staff, as well as peer leaders through various interactive sessions and discussions. Students will receive their full schedule in late-July. 

Yes! Orientation is required for all new, incoming students. Orientation is filled with endless programs and opportunities for you to learn more about your academic experience at Stevens as well as plenty of fun opportunities to meet other incoming students within the Class of 2027!

Each student will have access to our mobile app through Guidebook to view the Orientation Schedule.
