The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT), with the participation of the Supreme Student Council (SSC), held orientation programs for incoming freshmen and their parents and guardians on August 3 and 8, 2026, respectively, at the James Ter Meer Gymnasium, supporting the transition into Academic Year 2026–2027.

Freshie Orientation 2026, held on August 3, welcomed new Louisian students and introduced them to university administrators and SSC officers, led by SSC President Kyrus Deon C. Barroga. The program schedule featured messages from University President Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, Ph.D., and Vice President for Academics Luisa B. Aquino, Ed.D.

The orientation familiarized freshmen with academic programs and retention policies, student discipline, scholarships and grants, campus ministry, guidance and counseling, community engagement initiatives, and other student services. Information on university libraries, health and financial services, sports and cultural activities, and digital platforms was also included in the orientation program.

SSC officers assisted with student registration, while welcome kits and complimentary ice cream formed part of the activities for incoming freshmen.

Parents’ Orientation 2026 followed on August 8, providing families with information about the university's academic environment, policies, and services that can support students throughout their college experience. Topics included academic requirements, student welfare, financial matters, and resources available through various university offices. SSC officers were also assigned to assist with registration.

Through the two programs, the university and SSC helped incoming students and their families become familiar with university expectations and the available support systems at the beginning of the academic year.
