PRE-ORIENTATION
Registration for Pre-Orientation is now open - REGISTER HERE! Registration will close on July 12th.
Many of our incoming freshmen choose to participate in a Pre-Orientation experience, which takes place a few days prior to the start of Orientation. With these experiences, we want you to begin your journey at Stevens by spending it with people who share your interests beyond the classroom. We offer four Pre-Orientation experiences that will allow you to get to know some of your new classmates before classes even start, meet members of the Stevens faculty and administration, and take a new journey, all at the same time. These include: Outdoor Adventure, Performing Arts, City Life, and Sports & Fitness. The cost to participate in each of these events is $275, which will be billed to your account in September. For all of our Pre-Orientation programs, resident students will be able to move into their Stevens residence halls upon arrival.
