Orientation
Welcome to Goucher!
New Student Spring Orientation
Mark your calendar for Sunday, January 26, 2025!
We are excited that you've chosen Goucher College for your college experience, and new student orientation is designed to help you feel ready for the academic year ahead. New Student Orientation is designed to create a seamless transition for all new students to Goucher College. The term "new student" applies to all students beginning their Goucher career in any given semester.
The best way to get to know your new campus community is to jump in and start exploring for yourself. Goucher’s new student programs help you start connecting to your new home and provide you with the information you need as you begin your college adventure.
All first-year, transfer, and exchange students are required to attend new student orientation. Students have the chance to interact and connect with faculty, staff, and students; obtain departmental information related to potential majors; take certain placement tests or audition; and learn about student life opportunities. If you are involved in another experience during the program (e.g., athletics preseason, etc.) your instructor and/or coach are aware.
