Virtual Pre-Orientation Sessions

Before you arrive on campus, Orientation will offer a variety of virtual sessions throughout the summer highlighting the services, resources, and support systems available across the college. All sessions are optional but strongly encouraged to help students gain a full understanding of the opportunities and services available to them. Students should only attend one session within each category, and parents/guests are encouraged to participate alongside their student to learn more about the resources that support student success.

Please register for any of the sessions listed below. Registering allows us to accurately track participation and ensure that all students receive important orientation communications, updates, and reminders leading up to their transition to Purchase College.

Upon registering, students will receive a confirmation email with the webinar link. This link will also be re-sent on the day of the session.
