Registration for First Time Freshmen Orientation will begin on March 1, 2024.
Thursday Weather Update for the Monday-Tuesday (July 15-16) Orientation
Thu, 07/11/2019 - 3:29pmAt this time, Orientation on Monday-Tuesday (July 15-16) of next week is still scheduled to take place as planned. If this changes, we will communicate with all registered students and parents/guests as soon as we learn of the closure.
The university will be closed tomorrow, Friday, July 12, 2019. We will be checking our email (orientation@louisiana.edu) throughout the day tomorrow and the weekend, but will be unable to speak via telephone. If you wish to change your orientation date now to the next session (Wednesday-Thursday, July 17-18), please contact our office via email.
If over the weekend, you become unable to attend orientation on Monday and/or Tuesday, we will hold on to your nametag and will have it ready for check-in (7:30 AM-8:30 AM) on Wednesday July 17.
In the event that the university is closed on Monday of next week, as I mentioned above, we will communicate with all students and parents/guests, but we wanted to let you know our contingency plan. ONLY IF THE UNIVERSITY IS CLOSED ON MONDAY: our plan is to allow all students and parents/guests registered for Session 6 (July 15-16) to attend Session 7 (July 17-18). To expedite this, we would automatically move everyone’s registration over to Session 7 (July 17-18) and then if a student could not attend the July 17-18 session, they would contact our office to reschedule to our final Fall Orientation session held on August 20, 2019.
We will send another update on Sunday, July 14, 2019. Updates will be also be emailed to all registered students, parents and guests and posted to our Facebook page: UL Lafayette New Student Orientation.
