All new students are expected to participate in Orientation activities. Orientation is a time to learn about Eastern, how it functions, student life, academics, and begin making friends. No registration is needed.
What do I need to bring?

All first year residential students are required to have the 21 Meal Plan. Meal Plans start on the first day of move-in, so be sure to bring your E-Card with you to the Dining Commons!
