Academic Events

Summer Orientation is offered to all new incoming full-time undergraduate day students entering Johnson & Wales University in the fall semester. Orientation is a combination of in-person and virtual programs. During the programming, students learn about campus resources, network with student leaders, familiarize themselves with the campus and make new friends. A January orientation program is offered also for all new incoming full-time undergraduate day students entering Johnson & Wales University in the spring semester.

Commencement is held at the end of each academic year in May. At these exercises, degree candidates are recognized. Participation in commencement exercises does not imply that graduation requirements are met.
