Orientation Program
HPU's new student orientation program seeks to provide fun and engaging sessions and activities to help new students meet other students, navigate HPU's campuses, and learn about academic and co-curricular services and resources.
New students (full-time first-years, transfers, visiting/exchange, and graduate students) are required to participate in the orientation program. The orientation fee is automatically placed on students’ accounts.
As the university prepares to welcome new students to campus this spring, we will continue to review and adjust the orientation schedule. Please check back here for the most up-to-date information. Questions? Send us a message at readysetgo@hpu.edu.
