FLYTE Orientation Weekend

FLYTE Orientation Weekend is scheduled to take place from Saturday, August 30th to Monday, September 1st. It will not overlap with DU's Discoveries Orientation. Discoveries orientation begins on Tuesday, September 2nd.

More information about the specific weekend schedule will be communicated throughout the summer. Many families choose to arrive to Denver (if coming from out of state) by Friday evening so they are ready for early move-in on Saturday morning.

FLYTE FAQ to come.

FLYTE Weekend was a game-changer for me! Not only did I find a community where everyone supports each other, but I also formed friendships that will last a lifetime. The transition to college became a breeze with the services provided, and moving in early was a bonus – no chaos, just calmness. It's not just about orientation; it's about diving into a week filled with activities, laughter, and finding your place before the rush begins. FLYTE helped me feel at home faster on campus, connecting me with fellow students and introducing me to the endless support L.E.P. offers throughout the year. If you want to start your college journey on the right foot, FLYTE is the way to go!
