Orientation is in integral aspect of your educational pursuit.  Our orientation program is designed to provide you with relevant information and to help you make connections!  We have several different areas on which we focus during our orientation program. 

First is information.  We provide you with the opportunity to meet with individuals from many different offices on campus that, if they are not already, will become important to you during your time at Life.  You will have the opportunity to speak with individuals from financial aid, the registrar’s office, the library, as well as student services, the student success center and athletics among others. 

Another component of your experience at Life is understanding why Life University is one of the premier health care related institutions in the country.  During your orientation program you will have the opportunity to learn more about our outstanding nutrition and chiropractic programs as well have the opportunity to arrange for chiropractic care in one of our clinics. 

A vital component of our orientation program is to help you create connections!  Not only will you have the chance to meet other incoming students but also some current students in addition to faculty and staff members.  Life University is a warm, welcoming community of individuals who care about each other and want to see each other succeed in their chosen path.  You will find that the individuals you meet at orientation will be part of your educational experience for the next several years. 

The final component of orientation is the opportunity to register for classes.  During the orientation program students in the College of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies will have a chance to meet individually with their faculty advisor.  Students entering the Doctor of Chiropractic Program will have the opportunity to meet with the Vice Provost and Dean of Instruction to review course choices. 

Our orientation program is held 4 times a year and it is always the week prior to the start of classes for the upcoming quarter.  For specific dates, please refer to the list below.
