Monday January 12 – Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Welcome to Your New Beginning at Meredith!
Starting college mid-year comes with its own unique adventure — and we’re here to make sure you’re ready to hit the ground running. Our Spring Orientation is designed just for you, giving you the chance to catch up, get connected, and feel right at home from day one.
You’ll move into your residence hall on Monday, January 12, 2026 and that evening, you’re invited to a casual Meet Up over dinner — a perfect chance to meet your fellow new students and start building your Meredith community.
The real fun kicks off on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 with our official orientation program beginning at 9:00 AM. You’ll spend the day diving into helpful sessions, knocking out any last-minute to-do’s, and making new friends along the way.
By the time classes begin on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 you’ll be ready to take on the semester with confidence — and a few new familiar faces by your side.
We can’t wait to welcome you to campus!
