First-Year Experience

This is it!

During your First-Year Experience, Concordia will become your home away from home. Your First-Year Experience includes courses, programs and activities that will help you transition during your first year away from home.

Here are some of the things you'll cover throughout your First-Year Experience:

Orientation

Once August hits and you’re ready to move to campus, you'll take part in your Fall Orientation. You'll meet other students, get your Cobber Beanie, familiarize yourself with the campus and prepare for your first semester. 

Inquiry Seminars

All first-year students take an Inquiry Seminar. These first-year courses will help you develop valuable learning skills and get to know some friendly faces on campus.

Cobber Expo

There are many cocurricular activities available to you, including athletics, theatre, music, service-learning, media and more. Attend the Cobber Expo in September for more ideas on how to get involved.

Meet Your Faculty Advisor

During registration or your first week on campus, you’ll be assigned a faculty advisor. You’re encouraged to meet with your advisor throughout your four years to discuss your career goals, academic concerns and to register for future classes.
