New Student Orientation Experience
The New Student Orientation program at Clemson University is the first step in ensuring that new undergraduate students successfully transition and integrate into college life. The program promotes discussion among parents, new students, continuing students, and faculty and staff on the expectations and experiences of the campus community.
Virtual Orientation
Virtual Orientation is mandatory for incoming students. Through our Virtual Orientation modules, you can learn about academics, support services, policies and the next steps in your transition to Clemson. You will also prepare for your first semester as a Clemson student by meeting with an advisor and registering for courses virtually.
Ready, Set, Roar!
You are also invited to Ready, Set, Roar!, our optional in-person Orientation experience on campus, which is designed to connect students and guests to campus, their academic programs and other incoming Clemson Tigers.
Orientation Ambassadors
Orientation Ambassadors assist new students through their transition to Clemson by facilitating an introduction to campus and its resources.
