New Student Orientation

Welcoming the newest members of the Tribe!

Orientation occurs before the Fall (August) and Spring (January) semesters to introduce new students to many aspects of William & Mary including student life, academic policies, and the honor code. The goal of each orientation program is to make our students feel right at home from the moment they set foot on campus.
