Welcome to the Alliant Family
Join us for New Student Orientation
Orientation welcomes new students to Alliant and eases their transition as they embark on their educational journey.
You will have the opportunity to meet with faculty and staff and learn detailed information about life and learning
at Alliant. A series of presentations and activities will occur to help orient you to university policies and
procedures, academic program expectations, and student support services. New students from all programs are required
to participate.
We look forward to seeing you at New Student Orientation!
