Christopher Newport University presents our Setting Sail / Welcome Week orientation programs!

Setting Sail 2010
Setting Sail (required for all first year students) is a two-day, overnight program that introduces students to life at CNU – both inside and outside the classroom. While on campus in June, students will be able to stay overnight in a residence hall, pick up their student ID, meet other CNU students and much, much more! Each student MUST attend one of the four sessions and parents and guests are highly encouraged to attend.

Setting Sail online registration begins March 15. You will find the registration link here.

Welcome Week: University Academic Orientation
Welcome Week is the official welcome to the CNU Community and includes activities to kick off the Class of 2014's first year as a CNU Captain.

Changing Tides: Transfer Student Orientation
Held in January and August, Changing Tides is an orientation program designed specifically with the needs of transfer students in mind. Whether you are transferring from a two-year or four-year college or university, we are sure you will find information essential to making your CNU experience a success. Here you will have the opportunity to learn about the things that make our campus unique, as well as meet other students just like yourself who are not necessarily first year students but are coming to CNU for the first time.
