Freshman Student Orientation

Freshman Island View Orientation is a two-day, overnight program. All incoming freshman students must attend both days of the orientation and stay overnight in our on-campus student housing. Parents and guests are invited to attend the concurrent family orientation while their student attends Island View Orientation and may also stay on-campus (space is available on a first-come, first-served basis).

At Island View Orientation freshman students will:

  • Learn about academic requirements and policies;
  • Get one-on-one professional academic advising;
  • Register for classes;
  • Meet fellow classmates and student leaders;
  • Learn about the programs and services available; and 
  • Find out how to get involved and to maximize the CSUCI experience.
