New Student Orientation

Orientation is the first step to officially becoming an Olivet College Comet. Relationship building is vital to student success at OC and that starts on your first day here.

New Student Orientation is an on-campus engagement event. The New Student Orientation will provide you with opportunities to connect with fellow members of the Class of 2027, faculty mentors, academic advisers, coaches, talent directors and other staff members across campus. Our goal is that the transition to college life is informative, engaging and FUN! Registration and checklists are all located on your application status page.
