Online Orientation
After your Online Orientation, you’ll have a plan for your first semester.
Small Group Online Orientation
You’ll start with an on-line orientation program you can experience from home—a two-hour Zoom meeting with other students! Daytime and afternoon sessions are available June 9, 10, 14, and 22; July 7; and Aug. 15; all incoming students can choose between an on-campus or online orientation program.
Online Advising
At the end of June, you’ll receive a video link in your email that will give you an introduction to academics at Calvin and prepare you for advising.
In July, your academic advisor will reach out to you to set up an individual appointment. In that appointment, you’ll plan your first semester classes.
If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to complete your Academic 3-Minute Questionnaire so we can make the best match between you and an advisor.
