Student Schedule
New Student Orientation is our way of introducing you to Hope’s traditions, experiences and current students — and the campus you’ll call home.
In addition to the events planned through the regular orientation program, we have
several opportunities designed specifically for transfer students. As a transfer student,
we know you don't need a welcome to college — but you do need a welcome to Hope. New
Student Orientation will provide that.
