Orientation

Congratulations on your decision to join our community, and welcome to The New School! New Student Orientation for the spring 2027 semester will be held from Tuesday, January 19th.

Family Orientation Sessions will be held on Tuesday, January 19th as well. Contact families@newschool.edu with any questions. 

Orientation introduces new students and families to all the resources and opportunities available to New School students as they start their journey at the university. Students will meet the faculty and staff who are here to support them and begin to build academic and social communities with classmates from around the world.

Attendance at Orientation is required for all students in on-campus programs and is optional for students enrolled in online-only programs.
