June Orientations

For June Orientation sessions all students, including those from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, are required to live in a University residence hall. The program officially concludes before dinner on the second evening. We encourage you to remain on campus through the end of the program as there are important sessions that should not be missed. Sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels/washcloths are provided for those staying in the residence hall. Click here for a packing list for Orientation.

Families not interested in staying in the residence hall during June sessions are welcome to make a reservation at a local hotel. There is a hotel search engine at http://www.admissions.tcu.edu that can help you determine eligibility.

August Orientations

For August two-day Academic Orientations, students will stay in their own residence hall rooms. Check-in instructions will be mailed to you in early August. Students who will not be living on campus for the fall semester and parents will need to make other sleeping arrangements.

One evening meal is included as part of Orientation, which provides an opportunity to interact with TCU students, faculty, staff, and other Orientation participants. At the evening meal on the first day of Orientation, University officials and students will share valuable insights and information about academic and campus life opportunities. Casual dress is appropriate at all of these occasions.

Additional meals are your responsibility. The University dining facilities will be in operation for those who choose to eat on campus.
