Phase T.W.O. Orientation is a mandatory program which will prepare you for both academic and student life here at Purchase College. Each day of orientation is full of programs, activities, and events designed to make your transition to Purchase College as seamless as possible. Attending college is an exciting chapter in your life and we are excited that you have chosen to become part of the Purchase community.

Phase T.W.O. New Student Orientation takes place once you have moved on campus and prior to the beginning of classes.  We require all students, resident and commuter, to attend programs before the fall semester. These programs will continue the conversations and enhance the information provided during the July sessions to prepare you for the start of classes and your time at Purchase College. Phase T.W.O. Orientation promotes learning through faculty, staff and peer led seminars, workshops, and educational and social programming. 

Students who may need accommodations for off campus trips must contact Caitlin Houlihan (caitlin.houlihan@purchase.edu) 4 days in advance to make arrangements.
