Orientation and Transition Programs

Virtual Orientation
Orientation at SMU is a two-step process. Through Virtual Orientation & Stampede, our extended orientation program, our mission is to prepare students for life at SMU.

Stampede
Stampede is everything from Move-In to Convocation! Find out more about program highlights and our Stampede Guides.

First 5
First 5, our signature transition program, was developed to build on the groundwork laid during Virtual Orientation & Stampede –the name refers to the first five weeks of classes.
