First-Year Student Orientation

  • It’s an exciting time in your life. 

    Transition to college is a unique experience and the Capital University family is here to help guide and support you. Summer orientation is a one-day program that prepares you for the Capital experience. An Orientation leader will guide you throughout the day, where you will have the opportunity to begin building relationships with Capital faculty, staff, fellow first-year students, and current Capital students. You will also learn about academic expectation at Capital and meet with an advisor to determine course schedule.

    Remember you’re not joining Capital University - you are joining the Cap Family.
