Welcome to the College of the Holy Cross! At Holy Cross, we recognize the significance of the transition to College and are committed to supporting students and families during the transition.
Gateways Summer Orientation will introduce new students to living and learning at the College of the Holy Cross. Summer orientation allows new students and families (parents and guardians) the opportunity to learn more about the academic, co-curricular and spiritual aspects of the College. Registration opens at the beginning of May.
Students and families are invited and encouraged to attend one of three Gateways Summer Orientation sessions in-person during the month of June.
At the in-person orientation sessions, students will meet and make connections with classmates and members of the Holy Cross community, meet in-person to discuss course selection with a faculty member, and become more familiar with campus and the Worcester community.
Gateways Summer Orientation for the Class of 2027 sessions will be held on the following dates:
Session 1: Thursday, June 15 - Friday, June 16, 2023
Session 2: Tuesday, June 20 - Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Session 3: Monday, June 26 - Tuesday, June 27, 2023
Parents and guardians are invited to attend a special family orientation program to meet faculty, administrators, and students while learning about the needs of students during the transition to college. Learn more about how the College invites families’ partnership in supporting their student’s education.
