About Fall Orientation

Fall Orientation is for all students—whether they live on campus or not. Students are expected to attend the Orientation events on each day of Fall Orientation, and have an opportunity to attend other planned activities through the first week of classes, including the Student Organization Fair. You'll get to share ideas with new and current students, meet faculty and administrators who will help ensure your success, and truly discover the spirit of Simmons through its people and community.

Fall Orientation will be held from Sunday, September 2 through Wednesday, September 5. You do not need to register for Fall Orientation - all students are expected to attend.
