Yes. Here’s why you must complete an orientation from start to finish:
Orientation is designed to set you up for success, so it is important to attend the entire program. Please plan accordingly. Do not register for an orientation if you know you must arrive late or leave early. For one-day orientations, plan to be on campus from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For two-day orientations, plan to arrive around 9:30 a.m. on day one and leave by noon on day two.
An orientation fee of $75 for one-day programs or $95 for two-day programs is automatically charged to your student account and will appear on your bill in the fall. The orientation fee covers meals at New Student Orientation, materials, overnight costs, and Welcome Week programming. This fee is applied to all incoming students.
The fee is separate from your enrollment deposit. The enrollment deposit is paid in advance to hold your place in the class and is later applied toward the balance of your tuition bill.

Be comfortable. There is no need to "dress up" but wear appropriate attire, especially for the weather. You will spending time in air-conditioned buildings, so bring a light jacket or sweater if you chill easily. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on campus.
No! Lunch is included during one-day programs for students and their guest. During two-day programs, students are fed lunch, dinner, and day-two brunch. Family members and guests are fed lunch and brunch during two-day programs, with dinner on their own.
Although attendance is required for new Marian students, everything is optional for parents, families, and guests. That said, we have designed multiple sessions specifically for our guests to cater to your needs and interests. For more information on our parent and family sessions during orientation, please visit our parents and families page. This year we invite each incoming student to bring up to two guests. Your students will truly appreciate your attendance and support at New Student Orientation!
