Simmons Orientation
Congratulations on your decision to attend Simmons College! We are so excited that you are joining the Simmons Community, and we look forward to seeing you on campus. At Simmons, we hold two orientations: one in the summer, toward the end of June, and one in the fall, just prior to the beginning of the semester.
About Summer Orientation
At Summer Orientation, you will get the opportunity to meet other new students, finalize your academic schedule, and learn about co-curricular opportunities at Simmons. The Summer Orientation dates for 2012:
- First-years choose between two overnights: June 18-19 -or- June 21-June 22
- Transfer students can choose to attend one of the overnights (June 21-June 22) or the single day orientation on June 20
- Dix Scholars Orientation is June 20
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.
