Plan for Orientation

Each year, students express appreciation for the way Orientation helps them settle into life and studies at Regent.

Attendance at Orientation is expected of all new students—it is intentionally designed to help you make a smooth transition into the life of the Regent College community. The program includes practical information for personal and academic success; opportunities for worship and prayer; and an introduction to Regent's history, mission, and values.

Orientation is also a great time to meet Regent's faculty and begin connecting with other new and current students. Many alumni have told us that they formed their most important friendships at Regent during New Student Orientation. Please plan to join us, even if you are a local. Spouses are also encouraged to participate.
