Student Orientation Program is designed to introduce new students to the unique educational experience at St. Edward's University. Orientation at St. Edward's University is a process made up of intentional programming that integrates the students into a new cultural, intellectual and social climate that is grounded in Holy Cross Tradition. Undergraduate Orientation is a deliberate, collaborative institutional process where topics are addressed and relationships are fostered in an effort to transition new students into the campus community. The New Undergraduate Student Orientation Program consists of four tracks, including, Freshman Orientation, Transfer Orientation, International Orientation, and Parent Orientation.

Students entering in the fall may choose from six orientation sessions throughout the summer. Students entering the spring semester will attend a January orientation session. New Undergraduate Student Orientation includes an introduction to the SEU curriculum, student services, and University activities. Events planned during orientation provide opportunities to meet other new students, as well as SEU faculty, staff, student leaders, and administrators. In addition, some academic placement testing is provided so that students may choose courses appropriate to their proficiencies.
