Orientation
Orientation helps incoming students make a successful transition to Brooklyn College. Through orientation, students learn about academic resources, campus services, student life opportunities, and the many ways to get involved on campus. Brooklyn College offers multiple orientation sessions for first-year, transfer, and graduate students, generally held throughout July and August. Specific orientation dates are sent directly to each student through their Brooklyn College email account.
