Orientation is the place for incoming students to experience what college life will be like at Heidelberg University. Orientation welcomes new students to campus by introducing them to resources and fostering relationships necessary for a successful transition to university life. Students and their orientation guests learn about the university's academic expectations and opportunities for development both in and out of the classroom. And, students begin to make friendships for their future with Heidelberg.
Participation in Orientation allows you to:
- Become familiar with campus
- Talk with faculty and staff
- Explore your interests in different majors and minors
- Complete your Course Preference Selections
- Meet new and current students
- Registering for Orientation
Once the enrollment fee is paid, prospective students are able to register for an orientation session by logging into OASIS. There is no charge for students to attend. Parent, family and guest registration information can be found here.
