All new undergraduate students, freshmen and transfers, participate in Orientation. Students receive academic advising, register for classes, learn about campus technology, student life, and the mission of Santa Clara University.
At Orientation, you'll spend a lot of time with other members of your Residential Learning Community, including faculty and student leaders. You're sure to see familiar faces when you return in the fall.
