Welcome to Fall Orientation 2013! We expect every new student to attend orientation. Registration for orientation is not required. See you in August!

International Student Orientation
August 20-August 27, 2013

Are you a new student who is a citizen of another country? Are you a US citizen who is living abroad? You are cordially invited to International Student Orientation! This year, all international and exchange students will participate in a special OxyEngage, held prior to New Student Orientation. We will discuss topics important to international students - Cross Cultural Adjustment, US Academics, Visas: Rules and Regulations - as well as allow you time to get over jet lag and get to know the campus and College departments that can assist you.

New Student Orientation
August 24-August 27, 2013

All new students (First-Year, Transfer, International, Exchange and Visiting Students) will be moving into their assigned residence hall and then participating in orientation. Plan to arrive at Occidental College on Saturday, August 24.

Family Orientation
August 24 & August 25, 2013

We hope you will join us for this short, yet very important orientation. You are now part of the Oxy community. During this 2-day event, you will receive important information regarding Oxy and the community surrounding it. Most of your sessions will be separate from your student while others are together.
