Welcome, Bulldog!
Fall Orientation is August 20–23, 2022.

Prior to a student’s orientation period, all new students are required to complete a series of online Orientation modules including the New Student Orientation Course, the “U Got This!” course, and the AlcoholEdu Course. All courses will be available online via Canvas and students will be notified via their Butler email when they can access the courses in late summer. More information about each course, including completion deadlines, can be found here.
All first-year, transfer, and commuter students will check-in on campus, in-person, to receive their new Butler student ID, their Orientation shirt and, if they are residential students, their key to their Residence Hall room, on Saturday, August 20, 2022.
Students will be assigned a check-in and move-in time between 8:00 AM–5:00 PM ET on Saturday, August 20, 2022. Students will be notified of their assigned time via email in mid-July. If students are unable to arrive for their assigned move-in time prior to 5:00 PM, they will be unable to utilize the moving company to unload their belongings.
Additional information about the check-in process for Orientation and move-in will be shared in future communications.
Commuter students are required to attend a meeting on Sunday, August 21 from 10:00–11:30 AM in the Fairview Community Room. Families are welcome to attend. New commuter students will pick up their Orientation T-shirt (if not previously acquired on Saturday, August 20 during the check-in process) and meet with campus representatives as well as returning commuter students. Brunch will be served.
