Frequently Asked Questions

Where will I park?

When will the family portion of the Orientation program end?

The Arrival Day programming for families and supporters of new students ends with the Family Farewells & A Colgate Cookiewich. Students will be called to assemble in their Link groups and families will be directed back to their vehicles. There is no additional programming for families or supporters on subsequent days of Orientation; families are encouraged to give their student space as they begin the transition to life at Colgate.
