Summer 2025 Orientation Experiences

The Keys to the Purple Knight Kingdom - The essentials for your success at UB

We have designed Orientation experiences for every type of UB student. Whether you are joining us right from high school, transferring in, or joining us after some time off, there is something designed to meet your specific needs!

The Overnight Experience

Designed for new students joining UB from high school and enrolling in a traditional, four-year bachelor’s degree program. This experience gives students the opportunity to stay in the residence halls overnight, build necessary connections, and see what it’s like to be a Purple Knight.

Choose one:

The Full Day Experience

Designed for students transferring from community college or another college/university, or students returning to school after a break. This orientation provides an in-depth experience to get to know campus, faculty and staff, and peers.

The Workshop Experience

approx. 3 hours
Designed for undergraduate and graduate students who are working full-time and/or enrolling in evening/weekend or online courses who are seeking a more transactional experience. This is not recommended for student athletes or students enrolling directly from high school.

International Orientation

Orientation is a mandatory event for all incoming international students. This important session will provide you with essential information about life at UB and help you understand your responsibilities as an international student in the United States.
