Summer Orientation Details

Fall Semester Start

Summer Orientation is a required experience packed with information, community connections, and check-the-task-off the list opportunities! During Summer Orientation, students will register for their fall academic courses and complete other key steps to prepare for their Belmont journey. Summer Orientation also offers a parent/guest track designed specifically for Belmont parents and guardians.

As a reminder, students will only be able to participate and register for fall courses on the summer orientation session they have officially registered to attend. If you have questions about registering for your orientation session, please contact us at orientation@belmont.edu.

In order to accommodate the needs of all students, we will be offering several 1-day on-campus sessions and several 1-day virtual sessions.
