We understand that plans can change. If you’re unable to attend your scheduled Quest session, please sign up for an alternative within 48 hours. If no alternate session is selected within that time, your reserved course schedule will be dropped. This not only frees up courses for other students eager to join us, but it also ensures you aren’t billed for classes you don’t intend to take at Radford University. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our courses accessible to everyone!
Your Quest session day will be from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pre-Quest overnight on-campus housing is available for students and families for summer Quest 2025 on the Radford campus. Get more information about Pre-Quest!
Registration for Summer/Fall 2025 will begin on March 1, 2025. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us anytime at orientation@radford.edu. We look forward to seeing you soon!
The Quest orientation program is thoughtfully designed to warmly welcome incoming students, families, and supporters, ensuring a smooth transition to Radford University. Our goal is to address all of your questions and concerns as a new student while fostering a genuine sense of belonging within the Highlander community.
During Quest, students, families, and supporters share portions of the day together, while also following separate schedules designed to enrich their orientation experience and provide the most relevant support.
