What is Orientation at Cal Poly?
Cal Poly Orientation is a tradition that has helped welcome new Mustangs to campus, connect students, parents and supporters and community members to Cal Poly, and build life-long relationships for over 60 years. Recognized as one of the nation's best new student orientation programs, Cal Poly Orientation is the first step of every new student's Mustang journey that sets them up for academic, social and career success both during their time at Cal Poly and beyond.
