Orientation
The first few days can prove to be some of the most important of your college experience so we try to make these as exciting, informative, and unique as possible. Call 715-682-1269 or email SOEI Outdoor Pursuits Evan Coulson with any questions.
- Register for Orientation
Winter 2022 Outdoor Orientation is a student-led, multi-day, off-campus outing. Meals and transportation to and from the lodge are provided. This experience is available to all incoming new students but only required for all first-year students and for transfer students with fewer than 24 credits. Commuters are not exempt unless entering with 24 credits or more. Cost: $300. Register here. - Advisor Meeting
Schedule a meeting with your assigned advisor for a time during the first week of classes. - Northland Highways
Making a smooth transition into college is an important step in achieving success. The First Year Experience course is scheduled for the fall semester only and you will be automatically registered for it next fall.
Arrival Day Schedule
Saturday, January 8
Your kick-off day starts with arriving to campus, getting tested, and moving in. You will meet up in your small orientation group on the 1st floor of the Ponzio Campus Center near the Westernmost doors at 3PM. You will then spend the rest of Day 1 with your orientation leaders traveling to your off-campus retreat site and settling in for your weekend orientation retreat. If you have been exempted from orientation, you will simply arrive on campus this day to complete your initial antigen testing and receive important onboarding information.
Winter Orientation Experience
Saturday evening, January 8 through Monday afternoon, January 10
You will spend each day with your orientation group enjoying a cozy winter getaway at a rustic and scenic Northwoods retreat not too far from campus. SOEI Outdoor Pursuits leaders will showcase many of the ways in which we embrace our Northern winters with brisk outdoor activities including snowshoeing and ski trekking as well as warm indoor activities such as engaging in traditional crafts and board games. Each evening you will enjoy coming together around delicious home-cooked meals at a shared dining table and memorable discussions around the fireplace. Lodge-based amenities include shared bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, and a laundry facility. You’ll need to bring a sleeping bag to use on your provided bed. You’ll return to campus with your orientation group mid-afternoon on Monday, January 10 and your orientation experience will come to an end after a wrap up with your leaders. The last meal included with your orientation experience will be lunch on Monday.
Tuesday, January 11
You have this day to rest and relax before the start of classes on Wednesday, January 12. There will be a variety of engagement opportunities available for you to participate in to meet additional Northland students. If you have been exempted from orientation, this acclimation period will begin on Sunday, January 9.
