Orientation
Your adventure is about to begin!
Fall Orientation is August 21-28, 2025
We look forward to seeing you for Fall Orientation. Required of all new students, Fall Orientation will connect you and your classmates with the Hampden-Sydney community. This opportunity will provide you with the skills and information to be successful at Hampden-Sydney.
In the meantime, if you need more information, call Sandy Cooke at (434) 223-6340. We wish you success and encourage you to take full advantage of all that the College has to offer.
Please see the Academic Calendar for information regarding the dates of classes, breaks, and holidays.
Let's get started!
Here is a tried and true checklist that includes what you should (and should not) bring to college.
As a first year student, you will live together with your brothers in Cushing Hall, the Whitehouse Complex, or Carpenter X or Y. Check out more information about your new home away from home!
You are new here. Let us provide you with some basic information and resources to help you get started.
We can help you plan your trip with a virtual map, directions, accommodations, dining options, and area attractions.
Stay connected with us while your son is at H-SC. Here you will find updates, services, and news throughout the year, just for you.
