New student orientation is mandatory for all new students and begins with check-in. Each student will be assigned a check-in day/time on either August 23 or 24. (See the Housing section below for details.) All students are required to check in with the Admissions Office as their first step before moving into the dorm. Commuters must also check in with Admissions.
Orientation will begin Tuesday, August 23, and continue through Monday, August 29, with activities happening throughout each day and into the evenings. Orientation begins with check-in and continues throughout the weekend with activities, like LINK Field Day, designed to acclimate you to life at Trevecca and help you make friends. Whether you plan to live on campus or commute, your attendance is required for the entire weekend. If you live in Nashville and have a job, you will need to ask off work for the entire weekend. Attendance will be taken at various orientation activities – they are a required part of the INT1100 Life Calling & Purpose class. Missing these activities may affect your grade in the class.
Parents are invited to attend the first part of orientation with their students. Typically, the family-oriented events take place within the first two days. At the designated time, family members will be prompted to say goodbye to their student and leave campus. This allows students to be fully engaged in orientation activities.
Students who have paid their enrollment deposit can register for orientation on OneStop. Please register by August 1.
Around August 1, Trevecca will post the orientation schedule here. (Schedule is subject to change.)
