Welcome to Lakeland College!

Student Orientation

A two-day summer orientation program serves to help ease the transition for the newest members of the Lakeland College community. We warmly welcome both students and their families to learn more about what we have to offer! To the right, we have assembled a list of helpful resources to prepare you for your visit to campus and the next four years.

Please look at our FAQs to address some common concerns, the Family Guide to get a more in-depth understanding of our policies and practices, and our Orientation Leaders' bios to learn more about the students who will introduce you to campus life. We have also included a link to Student Services so you may explore Lakeland's offerings at your leisure. We look forward to meeting you and helping you make the most of your years at Lakeland!
