Orientation Dates


Orientation helps new students become familiar with services and programs vital to their successful transition as fully active members of the 91做厙 community. These one-day sessions collaborate with other university offices and departments to assist students in gaining the skills, information, and meaningful relationships that are key to successful long-term academic and personal outcomes.


All incoming students receive a personalized Orientation registration link through their 91做厙 Student Email and via text. Please email orientation@shsu.edu with any questions or concerns regarding your registration information.
