CBU Connect
CBU Connect is a single day event that is programmed to give new students the opportunity to connect with our offices, campus, and each other. Take advantage of our New Student One-Stop service to get any remaining questions answered and enjoy lunch with fellow incoming students as well as current students.
New Lancer Launch: We understand that starting college can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help every new Lancer transition smoothly into life at CBU. You are encouraged to complete the 'New Lancer Launch' online orientation to get an overview of CBU and learn the essential next steps to prepare for your first semester!

Registration
On Campus
You're invited to join us on campus to experience life at CBU, connect with other
new students, and design a custom CBU t-shirt. You'll hear from current students who
have recently navigated the change to CBU to help you feel prepared to start your
journey.
This event is a great way to build friendships, get familiar with campus before the
semester begins, and highly encouraged for students in the Southern California region.

Off Campus
We know you may be unable to make it to campus for our CBU Connect events this summer. So we want to bring CBU Connect to you! We are hosting a CBU Connect East Bay and CBU Connect Fresno events, which allows you to build friendships with new students from your area before attending Welcome Weekend and starting your first semester.
We will have Admissions, Parent/Alumni Association, and Community Life staff who can answer questions you may have, but the primary purpose is to meet fellow Lancers. There is no formal time.
