Dog Days

Welcome New Bulldogs!

DOG DAYS Freshman Orientation is a one-day program designed to welcome you to the Fresno State community. Attending Orientation is an important step in making the transition to life as a Bulldog, and is the best way to acclimate yourself as a new Fresno State student. DOG DAYS gives students the opportunity to meet with an academic counselor, meet with a major advisor and receive priority registration. It is also an opportunity to learn about all of the policies and procedures that are unique to Fresno State. First-time freshman who participate in DOG DAYS encounter fewer problems, are better prepared and usually have a better overall experience at Fresno State.
