New Student Information

Please visit: https://orientation.caltech.edu for information about 2025 New Student Orientation.

The Dean of Undergraduate Students Office fosters the academic and personal growth of undergraduate

students through counseling and support. Students are encouraged to see one of the associate deans about any matter, large or small. We are available to discuss academic concerns, personal well-being, community issues, or plans after Caltech. We work closely with faculty and other student affairs staff to help students overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

One of the other important roles served by the Deans' Office is that of helping students to observe and implement Caltech's community standards. To that end, we play a supportive role to the Honor System and are also responsible for the enforcement of Institute policies.

Finally, the office manages academic components of

New Student Orientation; is responsible for a number of student-centered grants and funding sources; and offers peer academic coaching, among other

academic support programs.
