Welcome to Manhattan University!
Our goal is to provide an engaging, informative orientation experience.
Orientation is an essential and exciting program that introduces incoming freshman and transfer students to all aspects of campus life. It is an opportunity to meet with administrators and current students in order to ease your transition to Manhattan University.
Connect, Explore, and Prepare
We look forward to your participation in our exciting Orientation program that will acquaint you with our Jasper community. A variety of activities and information sessions will connect you with key administrators, fellow students and current student leaders. It is an essential introduction to all Manhattan University has to offer. You will participate in academic planning sessions, attend student life panels, meet other new students over fun activities, and receive your first semester class schedule. This program is mandatory for all new students.
Before Welcome Weekend, incoming students will be able to get an introduction to Manhattan University by attending one of our Orientation dates.
Whichever date you select will be a great opportunity to get to know the university community and learn what it takes to be a Jasper.
