Get Ready for Fall 2023

New Student Orientation Phase T.W.O. is an extended program that takes place immediately prior to the beginning of classes. We require all students, to attend programs before the fall semester.

Phase T.W.O. programs continue the conversations and enhance the connections made during the July and August Orientation sessions to prepare you for the start of classes and your time at Purchase College. The program promotes learning through faculty, staff and peer-led seminars, workshops, and educational and social programming.

Students do not need to register for Phase T.W.O. Orientation events unless it specifically says that registration is required. Anything with an asterisk (*), is mandatory and attendance will be take using student More Cards.  If you cannot attend these events, you do not need to contact the Orientation staff they will be in contact about how to attend the make up session.
