New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation is the first step in your official journey with Hilbert College. Our interactive program provides students and support systems a snapshot of the Hilbert experience, providing need-to-know information and aid while completing the enrollment process at Hilbert College. 

New Student Orientation will be a COVID-friendly event. Each session will have a maximum of 50 students per session. Each student can bring two support systems with them as well if they choose. 

 Please note that Hilbert College follows the guidance of the New York State Department of Health, Erie County Department of Health, and CDC guidelines. At this time, masks are required for all, regardless of vaccination status. For updates on campus, visit our Coronavirus Update page.

Students spend the morning engaging with faculty and academic affairs staff to learn about the educational experience at Hilbert, including a review your class schedule, learning about services like tutoring, career development and service learning, and creating meaningful relationships with faculty in your academic division. The afternoon will be spent with your student engagement team learning all about the co-curricular experience!

Student support systems spend the morning learning from key offices like Student Life, Campus Safety and Counseling/Health/ Wellness. Support systems will also have the opportunity to meet privately with offices including financial aid, admissions and accessibility services to finalize administrative processes. After lunch and a tour of a bookstore, support systems will engage with the academic affairs staff and faculty on academic expectations, resources and opportunities. 

Both programs will end with specialized sessions including tours of college housing, meet n' greets with coaches, and extended hours with the campus bookstore.
