Torrey Honors is proud to welcome its incoming Fall 2026 freshmen! During this orientation, students will meet their cohorts and their mentors and prepare for their Torrey Honors education.

Monday, August 24 - Thursday, August 27

Students who will be attending the Torrey Honors College in the Fall of 2026 are required to attend the Torrey Honors orientation ("Torrientation"). During the week, incoming students will meet their cohort groups, hear from the Torrey Honors faculty and learn everything they need to know to succeed in the program.

Students must register for Torrientation at the link to the right. Registration will require you to log in with your @biola.edu email account.

To keep up with the announcements about Torrientation, be sure to check your Biola email account regularly beginning in May.

Important Details

Early Biola Move-In: Incoming students to Torrey Honors will move in early on Monday, August 24. There is no additional fee for early housing, and students will move into their permanent dorms. Commuting students will still need to participate in Torrientation even though they are not moving onto campus.

International students: For students arriving from outside the U.S. for Torrientation, please email torrientation@biola.edu. We are here to help!

Meals: Although student meal plans are not active during Torrientation, we will provide all meals for students during Torrientation through the Biola Caf beginning on Tuesday, August 25.
