Orientation Schedule

Orientation for First-Year and Transfer students begins Saturday afternoon, August 29th and continues through Wednesday, September 2nd.  An Orientation schedule listing all events is included in the Arrival Packet students will receive when they arrive on campus on Saturday, August 29th.  A collaborative effort between all departments has resulted in a thoughtful and thorough introduction to the academic, advising and residential aspects of college life at Bowdoin.  While there is much information disseminated and students are busy, there is ample time built in for getting to know new friends and to get adequate rest so that students begin classes on Thursday, September 3rd physically and mentally ready.
