Colby College offers two orientation programs, the fall orientation program and the winter orientation program.  Both include events and information aimed at easing the transition from secondary school or study abroad to life at Colby. Participants receive information about academic expectations, support, and resources, along with guidance regarding the layout of campus, understanding policies, and making long-lasting connections.

Parents are invited to participate in orientation programs.
There are (optional) introductory information sessions available for parents during the fall and winter.

Fall 2008 orientation begins on Tuesday, August 26, and lasts through Tuesday, September 2.

Mid-Year orientation information will be posted shortly. 
The web page will continue to be updated as this information becomes available.
