New Student Orientation
Curtis welcomes first-year students to the Curtis family as they begin an exciting journey and engage in new experiences. The Office of Student Services and Financial Assistance helps students make this transition.
New Student Orientation and Registration introduces students to both academic and nonacademic life at Curtis. Beginning in late August, the program offers a chance to meet returning students and make new friends before the semester begins. Free time allows for settling into new living spaces, learning the neighborhood, and practicing.
Additional information for parents can be found in the Parent's section on this website.
For answers to questions regarding orientation please contact Laurel Grady, assistant dean of student services and international student affairs at 215-717-3165 and she will assist you.
