Undergraduate Orientation

The University’s Orientation Program is designed to orient new students and their families to the institution, expose new students to the broad educational opportunities of Mason, and integrate new students and their families into the life of the Institution. Our Orientation Program promotes school spirit, student development, and accountability among Mason students and their families by encouraging self-growth, learning, and understanding their own relationship to the intellectual, social, and cultural climate of George Mason University. University Orientation is offered over the summer for students enrolling in the Fall semester and December through January for students enrolling in the Spring semester. For more information about undergraduate Orientation please click either the Freshman or Transfer links on the menu tab to the left.

Additional Information

Welcome to George Mason University!

When you arrive on campus later this month, you’ll notice that Mason is undergoing a dramatic transformation. We’re very excited about all of the new developments across campus, and that you’ve decided to be a part of the vision and constant progress that have become a Mason tradition.

During your years here, you’ll be among the first to experience Mason’s new, contemporary on-campus housing, state-of-the-art classrooms and research space, exciting restaurants and recreation facilities—and lots more parking and green space, too! These new additions are designed to provide you with a vibrant and exciting environment in which to learn and live.

 Mason will continue to grow with you during the coming years… and some growing pains are to be expected. There may be times when your walk to class takes a little longer or you parking space is further away than you would like. These small hassles will be relatively short-lived. And your reward? A university of which we can be proud and a beautiful campus that will be home to Patriots now and for decades to come. Together, we’re Building Patriot Pride.

Sincerely,
Rose Pascarell
Associate Vice President
