Welcome to Occidental College!
Orientation is designed to create a dynamic, celebratory and welcoming environment—a space where your student can explore how to make informed academic decisions and responsible social choices by tapping into resources and services offered by the College.
New Family Orientation
We will plan to host in person New Family Orientation Programs (first-year and transfers) for the families of the Class of 2027 including mini-orientation programs for those arriving early for Fall Athletics or LA Engage.
As we look forward to welcoming the Class of 2027 and returning students to campus this fall, Oxy’s COVID Operations Group (COG) continues to monitor campus and community levels of COVID and the latest pandemic developments. Please read further guidance here for Visitor and Event Guidelines.
Please refer to our campus map for locations of events. Questions? Please email parents@oxy.edu.
For more information for new students, please view the New Student Guide.
