NEW STUDENT PROGRAMS & ORIENTATION (NSPO)

Students on Scripps campus with welcome to Scripps sign

Welcome to Scripps College!

Orientation is just one way to help our students feel at home and part of the Scripps community. NSPO is designed to introduce new students to Scripps—the values and expectations we set for students as individuals and ourselves as a community.

Scripps’ orientation focuses on these guiding principles: academics, community expectations, and connections.

Check your Scripps email regularly for important dates, student guidebook information, and move-in details.

Information about 2027 NSPO will be available in May/June 2027

The paramount obligation of a college is to develop in its students the ability to think clearly and independently, and the ability to live confidently, courageously, and hopefully.
