Orientation 2026

Welcome, Class of 2030!

Orientation is a required program for all new Boston University undergraduate students. Registration for Fall 2026 Orientation will go live in May. Orientation programming and events will take place the week of August 26, 2026, following new student move-in (August 24 and 25). The official Orientation schedule will be emailed to students two days prior to Orientation, and students are expected to participate in all Orientation activities.

On Monday, August 31, 2026 from 8:30 am – 2 pm, Kilachand Honors College will be hosting a Scavenger Hunt around Boston as our Orientation programming. Along with KHC Faculty & Staff, students will explore the city in small groups, following clues to Boston landmarks and historical locations. After the scavenger hunt, everyone will head back to Kilachand Hall for lunch. Please note that before orientation, we will survey accessibility needs so we can remedy participation barriers with effective accommodations.
