New Student Orientation
Whether you’re a first-year student, a transfer student, parent, or family member, the Student Transitions & Family Engagement team wants to help you transition smoothly into the Blue Jay Community. In addition to implementing orientation programming, we provide support and resources leading up to your first day of classes and throughout your first year at Hopkins.
IMPORTANT MOVE-IN AND NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION INFORMATION
New Student Orientation is a multi-day program for all new students in August that will leave you feeling prepared and excited to begin your first year at Hopkins. With the leadership of a First-Year Mentor, students will get an overview of academics, student life, the Hopkins and Baltimore community, and what it takes to make a smooth transition to college.
Participation in all New Student Orientation sessions is REQUIRED of all incoming students, unless a fall student-athlete is excused for a varsity sport practice or game by their coach.
2025 move-in and New Student Orientation dates will be available in early Spring.
PRE-ORIENTATION
Prior to participating in required New Student Orientation programming, incoming students can sign up for an optional Pre-Orientation program.
Pre-Orientation move-in and program dates will be available in early Spring.
