Now that you’ve said "yes" to 17³Ô¹Ï, this page is your starting point for everything between now and the first day of class. From orientation and advising to housing and what to pack, we’ll guide you through each step. You’ll also find ways to meet classmates, explore campus life, and get excited for what’s ahead. Your 17³Ô¹Ï experience starts now.
SAVE THE DATE: We’re excited to welcome first-year Early Decision admits and Gap Year students to campus on March 20 for our Early Decision Reception. Look for registration information in your email soon.
Preparing for college involves a lot of moving parts—but we’ve made it simple to stay organized. Follow your checklist to see what needs to be done and when, and use the New Student Guide for detailed instructions and resources on each topic.
Get connected early by attending our webinars and welcome events designed just for you. Meet your future classmates, ask questions, and hear directly from Oxy staff and students about what to expect in your first semester.
You’re not in this alone—your new community is ready to welcome you. Explore the stories, conversations, and platforms that help you feel part of 17³Ô¹Ï before day one.
Oxy’s social platform for student life includes a dedicated space just for new students—chat with classmates, ask questions, and get tips from current students and staff (invites will be emailed in the spring).
