The Orientation Programme is one of the traditional activities put in place to mark the beginning of each academic session at the University of Lagos.

It is designed to acquaint fresh students with the university policies and practices, give necessary information about life and work at the university, the personnel, places, as well as the rules and regulations, which guide their stay both in the faculties and Halls of Residence.

The programme features selected lectures on relevant topics. Freshers will also meet Principal Officers, Deans of Faculties, Directors and Heads of Departments.
