New Student Orientation is a comprehensive summer program designed to welcome and acclimate new students and families to college practices, resources and programs. Students will meet with an Advisor, register for classes, connect with other new RIC students, get their student ID and parking pass, and more.

Please Note: Staying overnight on campus is mandatory for first-year resident students and optional for first-year commuter students. All must attend the second day.
