Welcome to Catholic University! This is a very exciting time for you and your family. The next couple of months will go by very quickly and soon you will be taking your place as a student at Catholic University. Here at CUA you will develop yourself, shaping your intellect and learning to accept the challenges of a committed citizen who serves others. We hope that you will challenge yourself and lead others, taking responsibility for your CUA experience and making it everything you have dreamed. All of this starts with Orientation.
Orientation for all new undergraduate students beginning their time at Catholic in January is a shortened version of our August Orientation. We will provide a connection with a current Orientation Advisor via email that you will be able to connect with in person once on campus in January. In addition we will hold an in-person Orientation on Sunday, January 12th from 4pm-6pm. Students are encouraged to attend the in person Orientation. Orientation will help you take your place within the Catholic University community as a responsible, independent student.
Registration for this Spring Orientation is not required!
Over the course of the next couple of months you will receive information from Orientation and other University offices and you will be enrolled in our online orientation program called “Becoming A Cardinal” that is ready for you to complete as soon as you have some time! The Catholic University of America is preparing for your arrival and we are ready to address your questions and assist with your transition. All academic information you may need to know regarding class registration, and course selection advice can be found on the Incoming Students page on the Center for Academic and Career Success website.
Our staff is here to help you in your Catholic U experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance via phone at 202-319-6003 or via e-mail at cua-orientation@cua.edu.
We look forward to meeting you in January!
Sincerely,
Steve Kreider
Director, Office of Campus Activities
