Online Orientation
After your On-campus or Online Orientation, you’ll have a plan for your first semester.
Small Group Online Orientation
You’ll start with an orientation program you can experience from home—a two-hour Zoom meeting with other students! Sessions are available from June 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, and 15, July 15, and Aug. 16, and 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. If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to complete your 3-Minute Questionnaire so we can make the best match between you and an advisor.
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.
