First-Year and Transfer Orientation

Orientation is the official start of your Simmons journey

First Bite Orientation is your formal introduction to the Simmons University community, and it takes place in two parts over the summer. In June, we are excited to welcome new first-year and transfer students and their families for a one-day Orientation (June 11 or 12). In the Fall, we’ll kick off Orientation on Saturday, August 29th and it will run through Tuesday Sept. 1.
