Spring Orientation

Spring Orientation is designed for new students beginning their studies at UL Çàɬֱ²¥ during the Spring Semester. 

During Orientation, you'll have the opportunity to meet other incoming students, learn about university resources, discuss important tips for a successful transition to college life, meet with an academic advisor in your area of study, and register for classes. Members of our Çàɬֱ²¥ Orientation Staff will help you understand what it means to be a student on our campus and will guide you through the experience.
