Simmons Orientation
Congratulations on your decision to attend Simmons College! We are excited that you are joining the Simmons Community and look forward to seeing you on campus. For students starting in the Fall Semester, we hold two orientations: one in the summer, toward the end of June, and one in the fall, 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 2013:
- First-years choose between two overnights: June 17-18-or- June 20-June 21
- Transfer students can choose to attend one of the overnights (June 20-June 21) or the single day orientation on June 19
- Dix Scholars Orientation is June 19
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 Connections Carnival: the Student Involvement 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 Saturday, August 31 through Wednesday, September 4, 2013. You do not need to register for Fall Orientation - all students are expected to attend.
