The Spring 2027 Orientation Program is an ONLINE program held virtually via Zoom. Students will connect with their academic advisor, receive academic advising, and register for Spring 2027 course. Dates and times are coordinated by the academic college and sessions generally last 2-3 hours. Students will meet with their academic advisor, receive academic advising, and register for Spring 2027 courses.
Pre-Orientation
The Orientation program is committed to ensuring that the incoming class of students will receive an onboarding experience that prepares them for their first term as new Toro or returning Toro.
