Orientation
Charger orientation is an exciting and important, one-day event that is required for all incoming new students at Briar Cliff. Orientation will help you to register for classes, meet new friends, and discover the supportive and caring community that is Briar Cliff!
What To Expect

During your orientation session as a Future Charger, you will

| As a Parent and/or Guardian |
|
As a parent, guardian, or other family member, you are welcome to attend orientation. Special information sessions are scheduled just for you, so you can get the chance to know Briar Cliff as well. Be sure to add your names on your Future Charger's RSVP.
|
| Before and After Orientation | Online Course |
|
Prior to orientation, all Future Chargers are enrolled in an online orientation course. Among other things, this course will allow you to begin to fill out paperwork in advance, get an overview from several departments, and learn about Briar Cliff. Students will be provided with an email to create login information a few weeks before their scheduled orientation dates.

Orientation Sessions
All incoming students are encouraged to sign up for an in-person orientation session that works best for them. For out-of-state Future Chargers who are traveling long distances (residing 200+ miles away), we created the virtual session option to help accommodate all travel plans.
