If you have students coming to UD, please submit their final official high school transcripts to the University of Dayton as soon as they are available. The final deadline is August 1, but it’s beneficial for your students if we can receive this earlier in case registration changes are needed.

Beginning May 29 and continuing through June, New Student Orientation is a required one-day (no cost) or overnight ($175) experience where incoming students will:

  • Register for fall courses
  • Connect with the Flyer community
  • Explore campus resources and ways to get involved

Our new overnight option offers additional time to connect and engage on campus. To help students and families prepare, please encourage them to visit our New Student Orientation webpage for the schedule, preparation checklist, what to bring and more.

Pre-Arrival Programs link-arrow link-arrow

UD’s three pre-arrival programs — Camp Blue, Callings and MECPrO — allow first-year students to move in to campus housing early and start building connections the week before fall classes start.

Registration opens May 27. Due to overlapping dates, students may attend only one program.
