General Information and Frequently Asked Questions

Penn State DuBois realizes that orientation is a process rather than an event. With this in mind, our orientation program is designed to help you become comfortable with and knowledgeable about the campus during the summer, prior to your beginning classes on August 25, 2025. 

First comes New Student Orientation, ROAR. This program is scheduled by student preference.  Information about how to schedule this day will be emailed to you and will be held in person.  This program will include your meeting with an academic advisor to schedule your fall semester classes, give you information about your placement tests, financial aid information, etc. For questions about this, please contact the Advising Center at (814) 375-4796.

New Student Orientation, PRIDE Welcome Day process will take place on THURSDAY, AUGUST 21. All new students will have an opportunity to meet and interact with their fellow students, as well as to begin to receive important information on how the University and campus works. These days constitute the official opening of the academic year with our Campus Convocation, and include information on both academic and out of class programming. STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND. For questions about Welcome Day, please contact Student Affairs at (814) 375-4766.

ORIENTATION FAQ:

Is Orientation a required program?

Yes, it's so good that we expect all students to participate in both programs, Orientation Day and Welcome Day!

Is there a fee for attending New Student Orientation?

No!

Who do I call if I have questions?  

For information on New Student Orientation, ROAR, class scheduling, contact the Advising Center at (814) 375-4796. For New Student Orientation, PRIDE Welcome Days you can call Rebecca Pennington - Director of Student Affairs (814) 375-4766 or email [email protected].

Are any special sessions offered during Orientation?

YES, special sessions are offered. They include sessions for international students, and high school students enrolled in Penn State classes through the Dual Enrollment initiative. Students will receive a separate mailing with information on these special programs.

Are current students involved in the New Student Orientation program?

Definitely YES! We have OL's (Orientation Leaders) who are training this summer to be important members of the Orientation Staff. You'll spend a lot of time with our current students during the orientation program.
