New and transfer students are expected to participate in the online New Student Pre-Registration Orientation program prior to the start of their first academic semester at Trocaire, which is designed to introduce students to college life at Trocaire. This program acquaints students with both the academic resources of the College and the support services that will assist them in making a smooth transition to college life. This online pre-registration orientation takes thirty minutes to complete while describing various facets of Trocaire. Once completed, students will feel comfortable to start their first semester. The online pre-registration orientation is required of all incoming students, and needs to be completed prior to the start of the academic semester. Schedule changes cannot take place until students complete the online orientation.
In addition, Student Life hosts a mandatory, in-person orientation for all first-time college students prior to the semester. First-time students will connect with staff from student services at Trocaire, tour the campus, and connect with current students to hear their experiences. Transfer students are welcome, but not required, to attend. There will be an opportunity to connect with other transfer students, resources, and offices at the campus at the start of each semester.

The Student Life Office manages various clubs and activities open to all students. Each club has a separate advisor who oversees its function. Clubs help sponsor many activities each semester, provide a forum for the development of student leaderships skills, and present opportunities to form relationships with other students. Student clubs are also fantastic ways to build professional development to ensure you stand out in the workforce. There are several academic and social clubs on campus, and if Trocaire does not have a club you are interested in, it is very easy to start one. Connect with Student Life to learn more.

The SGA is comprised of elected and appointed students involved in the planning and integration of student activities so that students have a full and balanced life outside the classroom. The SGA also promotes a sense of group responsibility and plays the critical role of student representation for all aspects of campus life.
