Important Dates

Summer Orientation
Summer Orientation sessions will be held on June 24, 25, and 26, 2025. Registration for our one day Summer Orientation sessions will begin on Monday, May 12, 2025.

Summer Orientation is designed to help you feel comfortable as you begin your transition into Endicott College. While your parents and families have their own orientation at the same time, you will meet your assigned Orientation Leader and be led through a full day of learning about the campus. In addition to meeting your orientation leader you will:

  • Meet the fellow new students in your orientation group (most groups are 10-15 students)
  • Meet with your School Deans
  • Learn more about your class schedule and future classes
  • Find out about meal plans
  • Hear about the programs and activities that make up your First Year Experience (FYE)
  • Tour some of the first year residence halls
  • Learn about the services offered by the Wellness Center
  • Learn about getting involved and building community at the Nest

Summer Parent & Family Orientation
Parent & Family Orientation is designed to help you feel informed, confident, and connected as your student begins their journey at Endicott College. While your student attends their own Orientation program, you'll participate in a separate—but concurrent—schedule tailored specifically for parents and families. Students, parents, and families will be together in the morning for the opening session and together again in the closing session at the end of the day. Through presentations, panels, and informal conversations, you’ll learn about:

  • Supporting your student’s academic and personal success
  • Understanding financial aid, billing, and student accounts
  • Navigating wellness services on campus
  • Campus dining, housing, and residential life
  • Resources for accessibility, mental health, and safety
  • What to expect in the first year—and how to be a supportive partner in your student’s transition
  • Hear about how our office communicates to parent and families via the monthly Gull Parent an Family Newsletter
  • Explore campus, connect with other Gull families
