New Student Orientation Schedule
Orientation occurs immediately prior to the each semester to introduce all new-to-William & Mary-students to the many aspects of our university community, including student life, academic policies, and the honor code. The goal of each orientation program is to make our students feel right at home from the moment they set foot on campus.
