About
Gonzaga’s Jesuit, Catholic, Humanistic education will challenge and inspire you.
Orientation begins Friday, August 27 through Monday, August 30, 2021. It will be a full of activities, so prepare yourself for a once in a lifetime experience!
Only the best people you will ever meet! During Orientation, you will be assigned to a Small Group, led by upperclass Zags who are our Orientation Leaders. They have been trained during the summer to ensure that you will have a successful transition into college life. You'll meet with your Small Group throughout the weekend, and they're a great resource to learn the ins and outs of GU.

Students who do not select their housing assignment will be assigned a building, room and roommate by the Housing Office. For more information visit www.gonzaga.edu/movein
Your first-semester course schedule will be constructed for you by Academic Advising and Assistance, based on the information you provide in the Academic Interest Survey, as well as your academic profile and history.

Yes, perhaps. Once you receive your schedule, if you have questions or concerns, plan to either call, e-mail or visit Academic Advising and Assistance during Schedule Change times during Orientation Weekend. We will listen to your concerns and review your schedule with you to see if changes are necessary and/or possible. Our first priority is registering you for a first semester that sets you on a four-year path to graduation. If that requires schedule changes, we will gladly make them. Visit Academic Advising & Assistance for more information about schedule changes.
