New Student Orientation
Get a Head Start on the Academic Year

All registered incoming students are required by their academic departments to attend a one-day new student orientation.

By attending a new student orientation session you will
  • Receive your CTA U-Pass and student ID before classes begin
  • Make connections with fellow students in your entering class
  • Attend a resource fair to prepare you for what to expect at The Chicago School
  • Engage in one-on-one sessions with your future professors
  • Learn about financial aid resources
  • Discover our exciting city

New student orientation is normally scheduled for the week prior to the start of classes; students attend on a particular date depending on their academic program. International students must attend an additional orientation to address their particular needs/information.
