I want to personally welcome you to the School of Business & Society at the University of Redlands. We want to ensure that you have a successful start to your educational journey. We care about your success and are here to assist you throughout your program. When you start your first course, you will receive a welcome email from your Student Success Advisor, who will assist you with all your academic advising needs.
There are several important items on your to-do list before your first day of class, so please take a moment to read through the important information on this page.
Prior to starting your program, you will be invited to attend the required New Student Orientation to help you prepare for your first semester. You may attend Orientation at the Redlands campus or online. Please connect with your enrollment counselor on the scheduled date and time of this event.
After you have registered for classes, you will be invited to participate in Bulldog Onboard located in Canvas. Onboard is an online source of important, valuable information and resources for new students to help prepare you for your program of study, as well as help you navigate through your degree program.
As a School of Business & Society Student, we want to ensure that you have everything you need to be successful as you progress through your degree program. In addition to working with your academic advisor, please use this Online Advising Center accessible in Canvas as a resource to answer any questions or concerns you have over the course of your program.
For your road map to academic success, please review your Student Checklist and save it for future reference.
