Fall 2024 New Student Orientation

We're thrilled to welcome you to the Geneseo community! 

As you begin your journey at SUNY Geneseo, we aim to provide you with the information and resources you need for a smooth transition.

Orientation Basics

There are two parts to orientation:

  1. Online Orientation: (an asynchronous course, meaning it can be completed on your own time, at your own pace). Available in August. Look for information in your Geneseo email.
  2. On-Campus Orientation
    1. International Orientation: August 19-24
    2. First Year Orientation: August 20-24
    3. Transfer Student Orientation: August 23

All new students must attend on-campus orientation.
