Phase Two
Welcome back, we’re glad you’re here!
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 will take place once students have moved on campus and prior to the beginning of classes. All students, resident and commuter, are required to attend programs on August 23, 24, 25 and 26th. These programs will continue the conversations and enhance the information provided to them at their one day July session to prepare the students for the start of classes and their time at Purchase College. Phase T.W.O. Orientation promotes learning through faculty, staff and peer led seminars, workshops and educational and social programming.
