Spring 2025 New Student Orientation: Tuesday, January 14–Saturday, January 18

 

Spring undergraduate orientation is for Berklee College of Music students entering their first semester. It is designed as a week of welcome before the spring semester begins and focuses on helping students build social and artistic connections.

Note: Move-in day for students living on campus is Tuesday, January 14. The first full day of orientation, or the "Launch Day," for residential and off-campus students, is Wednesday, January 15. The full week of new student orientation is required or mandatory. If students have families visiting, we will have some in-person Family Welcome Celebration events. Families can learn more and register at our Family Orientation web page.
