Go! Freshman Orientation

GO (Get Oriented) is all about starting from scratch. It is designed to build relationships and to introduce you to campus life at LCU before your classes begin. We want you to feel at home, so we've created an orientation program just for first year students presented by upperclassmen, faculty and staff. During this time, you'll get the chance to meet new people, the same faces you'll sit beside at graduation and remember for the rest of your lives. Plus, you will get a taste of what LCU campus life is all about! GO is definitely something you don't want to miss.

Once you have registered for courses at LCU, be sure to register for GO! Register by visiting your personal web page or contact your Admissions Advisor.
