We are so excited to have you at GCU for this upcoming school year! Head to the Arena with your family for your commissioning! Seating is first come, first serve so head over early to grab your seat.

Once the welcome session is released, please join us to find your orientation group. Here, you will meet other students from your building, eat a meal with new friends, and explore campus together.

Parent and Family Orientation (PFO) is for parents and family members to learn more about how to partner with the university while their student is a Lope. While you attend your Orientation Group, encourage your family to attend PFO to hear from Public Safety, Residence Life, Student Care, and Enrollment. A panel of current parents and students will also share wisdom of their experience!

Whether you're a first-year student or transferring to GCU, Welcome Fest is the perfect platform to meet other students as you begin your time at GCU! You also have the chance to get to know the heartbeat of GCU by interacting with our student leaders. They'll be there to guide you, answer questions, and share their experiences, ensuring you feel supported as you navigate your academic journey.
