Transfer Student Orientation

Lehigh University Photo

Welcome to Lehigh! We know you have already had a previous college experience, so our program is aimed to provide you with the most pertinent information while we also help you meet your new peers. Orientation is required and occurs in the fall and spring semesters. You will receive information via email about your Orientation Session. If you are arriving in the fall, we invite your families to attend the Family Orientation Program. Spring Transfer students may bring their families; however, we do not offer a separate family program in January.

Fall Orientation 2008

New students starting in August must attend our Fall Orientation. At Orientation, new students will receive their course schedule, ID card, information on University resources, and learn how to navigate the Banner system for registration.

Orientation is required for all new students. To learn more about your Orientation program and recieve a detailed checklist of things to do before you arrive, please visit the campus portal at http://portal.lehigh.edu . The portal will be live for new transfer students on July 1, 2008.
