Orientation is a two-part process
- Attend an on-campus Orientation where you will learn about life on campus, meet other new transfer students, and explore campus resources.
- Attend a remote advising session.
Parking
Whether you are driving to campus or arriving via public transit, you can find your way to Orientation using these directions. If driving, please be mindful that morning traffic may cause delays in arriving to campus.
Parking will be in the East River Road Garage.
There are two entrances into East River Road Garage, please make sure you are entering the Public Entrance (pictured) and not the Contract Entrance.
After parking in the East River Road Garage:
Take the elevator to Level C.
Follow the signs to the bus pick-up location.
You will receive a voucher in your Get Ready for Orientation email that will have a QR code to be used for discounted parking.
Accomodating Your Needs
Disability
We value disability as an aspect of diversity and want to ensure that you are able to fully participate in all programming available to you. If you have a disability or health condition, or suspect you have one, and would like to have a confidential discussion about accommodations, please contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at 612-626-1333 or [email protected] as soon as possible. Some accommodations may take time to arrange. You may also schedule a consultation.
Mobility
If you have a short-term disability (i.e. broken leg) and would have difficulty traveling long distances during Orientation, please contact the Orientation & Transition Experiences office for accommodations at [email protected].
Dietary Accommodations
You will indicate your dietary accommodation needs on your Tell Us About Yourself survey. If you have a change to your needs, please visit your New Student Checklist and update your survey.
