Orientation

Orientation is a fundamental aspect of a new student's experience of Saint Mary's College of California.  

All new students, including transfer students, need to register for orientation. Registration for New Student Orientation is now available and includes both in-person and virtual options.

During your orientation sessions, our faculty, staff, and current students share information to help you successfully transition into the Saint Mary’s community. 

Each session provides critical information to help you transition to Saint Mary's, including introducing you to our academic programs, connecting to resources and learning more about services available. Students and guests will all become better acquainted with campus resources and have opportunities to discuss the many facets of Saint Mary's life.
