Orientation will take place on campus from 1–10 September 2026, and it’s a key first step in your journey as a UCC student. Orientation is compulsory, but more importantly, it is designed to give you the knowledge, support, and confidence you need to settle into university life.
You’ll meet new people, get to know the campus, and discover the resources that will help you thrive academically and socially.
We also invite you to join us for the Fresher’s Festival on Saturday, 12 September—a fun, vibrant celebration to kick off your UCC experience and connect with your new community.
