Candlelight Ceremony and Ice Cream Social

Join us for the second annual Candlelight Ceremony on the Eastman Quadrangle at 10:00pm. You will join your classmates and surround the Quad with lit candles as you listen to Wade Norwood '85 and Victoria Massie '11 discuss UR symbols, traditions and history and how these things have shaped their experience at the University of Rochester.

An Ice Cream Social hosted by the Office of Admissions will immediately follow the Candlelight Ceremony. Get the chance to chat with an Admissions Counselor from your particular region. The Ice Cream Social is a popular and highly anticipated event to kick off the Orientation week!

Welcome to the Class of 2013!

Welcome to the University of Rochester! Student check-in will occur in Park Lot between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Please refer to your parking pass to determine whether you will move in during the morning or afternoon.

Be prepared, as wait times in Park Lot can be quite long during peak hours, but once you reach your building, your car will be unloaded by volunteers--you won't have to lift a finger!

Once your boxes are unloaded, don't forget to go over to the Technology and Campus EXPO in the Field House in Goergen Athletic Center to get your new UR student ID, your campus mailbox key, your pre-ordered Freshman Directory and/or your computer. If you've already moved in, make sure that your pick up your Orientation materials at the EXPO. If your parents are participating in arent orientation, they will need to check in at the EXPO. On-site registration will also be available.
