Session Dates

The 2025 orientation dates for incoming first-year and transfer students are:

Two-day, on-campus sessions with an overnight stay: 

• Session 1 – June 12/13  -  Deadline to register: June 5
• Session 2 – June 16/17  -  Deadline to register: June 9
• Session 3 – June 23/24  -  Deadline to register: June 16
• Session 4 – June 26/27  -  Deadline to register: June 19
• Session 5 – June 30/July 1  -  Deadline to register: June 23
• Session 6 – August 11/12  -  Deadline to register: August 4

Note: Deadlines to register only apply if spaces still remain for a session, as sessions may fill up earlier than the posted deadline. If a session does not appear as an option when you log in to your JCU Gateway to register, that session is no longer available because the session either has reached its capacity or the deadline to register has passed.

  • Deadline to register: January 3
• Session U - August 14
