First-Year Student Orientation Sessions

Welcome all new students. We have continually update the Revelle College orientation experience for each new year. We will keep you updated on any changes related to University safety guidelines that impact orientation and strive to provide you with what we know now so you can plan accordingly.

Welcome Incoming Revellians!

We are here to help you get to know your new home at Revelle College. You’ll have Orientation Leaders to serve as your student guides as you learn about your academic, leadership, and involvement opportunities, and meet fellow students, staff, and faculty along the way. This is your time for a smooth transition to Triton and Revelle life.

Here you will find important upcoming deadlines for Summer 2026. We will update this page later in the summer with an orientation schedule and reminders.

Submit your Academic Background on the New Triton Advising site on the Virtual Advising Center when it opens on June 22. This helps us provide proper academic orientation and enrollment guidance for you this summer. Due July 1.
Register for orientation by Friday July 24th at http://cor.ucsd.edu. (Opens June 22)
- Please note there are two days of orientation: Part 1, a required virtual component and Part 2, a required in-person component.
- Register by the deadline to avoid any late fees or holds on your record.
Review all your important university deadlines. This is the 2025 Revelle IMPORTANT DATES document with the 2026 one coming in June. Also follow your Admissions Enrollment Checklist.
- Remember you are responsible for completing your administrative obligations.
- Missed deadlines could impact your admission or your ability to enroll in Fall.
Complete your Canvas modules starting in August
- Canvas is an online, interactive tool that you'll use for classes and orientation.
- You'll need to complete the modules by September 15. You'll receive an email to your @ucsd.edu email account when your Orientation Canvas modules are live.

All in-person will be in accordance with health and safety protocols. We will update you as information becomes available.
