New Student Orientation is a mandatory event for First-Year and Transfer students to learn about and prepare for life at Chestnut Hill College. Staff in the Division of Student Life design Orientation to create a smooth starting process as new Griffins along with students’ parents, guardians, and support systems! Orientation occurs at the end of August for new students beginning in the fall semester and mid-January for new students beginning in the spring semester. New Student Orientation offers the perfect mix of preparing new students for their CHC careers and building the community of peers that can become lifelong friends and connections!
New students must also complete placement testing prior to the start of the spring semester. There will be staff available to check on and assist with this during the start of Orientation. Staff from Student Financial Services will also be present to answer questions about financial plans and packages.
**Please note that any students with missing placement tests, missing payment plans, or missing required forms WILL NOT be permitted to move into the residence halls nor begin classes for the spring semester.
For questions, please email Orientation@chc.edu.
