Pre-Orientation
Optional Programs Introduction
Each year Tufts offers several
innovative, optional pre-orientation opportunities to
incoming students. In recent years, over half of the
incoming class has participated in our pre-orientation
programs. Incoming student arrive to campus early
and join their classmates in small groups to participate
in one of these four programs. The programs are
your opportunity to get involved on campus early, meet
upperclass leaders and mentors, gain valuable leadership
skills, and meet other students with similar interests
before Orientation officially begins. Above all,
students look back at their participation in FIT, FOCUS,
IO, and TWO as some of their fondest memories.
There is a cost associated with
each program. Once accepted you will need to pay
to secure your spot. Financial aid assistance is
available for Pre-Orientation program fees. Aid
amounts will be determined by a student’s University
financial aid status, however Pre-Orientation assistance
will not affect a student’s University financial aid
package.
