Student Orientation

Congratulations on your decision to attend Clarkson University! We look forward to you becoming a part of our community! The New Student Communication process begins after incoming students confirm their acceptance to Clarkson on May 1st. After this date, you will receive a mailing and a series of electronic communications to assist your transition to the university.

The six days prior to the start of classes each fall comprise Orientation Welcome Week. This is Clarkson's official orientation program and it is packed with events ranging from meeting members of important offices on campus, to learning about your major, to social events. New student orientation begins with move in day on Thursday, August 19th and concludes with the Student Activities Fair on Tuesday August 24th.
