January 11, 2026 - Spring Orientation

As a part of the new student experience, we require all new students who are starting classes in January to participate in Spring Orientation. Attend orientation starting at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday so you can get acquainted to campus and meet other Cornellians.   

The Spring Orientation Schedule will engage you in several activities that will help ease your transition to Cornell including a campus tour, academic overview, community expectations, and a tour of the Cole Library and Center for Teaching and Learning. This is a great opportunity to meet other students starting at Cornell College during Block 5.  

January 12, 2026: Classes begin
