Orientation

Orientation at Felician University plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful transition for incoming students into the vibrant Felician community. As the foundation of the University’s First Year Experience (FYE), orientation introduces new students to a wide range of academic and co-curricular services and programs that are essential to their collegiate journey.

The orientation experience is centered around an engaging, in-person program on campus, where students have the opportunity to connect directly with faculty, staff, and fellow classmates. Through interactive sessions and activities, students are introduced to key campus resources, academic expectations, and opportunities for involvement.

Developed in collaboration with departments across the University, orientation provides a structured and holistic introduction to the collegiate environment. Students and their families gain important information about academic programs, student support services, and their responsibilities both inside and outside the classroom.

Orientation serves as the starting point of Felician University’s First Year Experience (FYE), a comprehensive, year-long program designed to support students’ academic success, personal development, and sense of belonging. Following orientation, students continue their transition through ongoing FYE initiatives, programs, and resources that promote engagement, skill development, and connection to the campus community throughout their first year.

Orientation also emphasizes community building, helping students establish meaningful connections with their peers and the campus community. These early connections foster a strong sense of belonging and support as students begin their college experience and continue through their first year at Felician.
